John Frusciante Thinking Quotations

Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

And, and if I thought about how cruel of a world this is, I would probably just commit suicide after a while, if that was what I spent my energy thinking about. I would definitely not have any strength left to create music.

I can also be very happy in this life, but it's usually happiness that I get from other lives I've lived and other dimensions. This life is hardly important to me. It's very small compared to the importance that I think the fourth and fifth dimension have.

I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.

I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music.
