John Frusciante cytaty

„Życie to kąpiel, seks to jest woda.”

„Na przykład irytował mnie tłum ludzi podrygujący dziesięć metrów od sceny w rytm naszej muzyki… banda debili, którzy przychodzili na koncerty napić się piwa, pogapić się na cycki i poskakać.”

„Muzyka jest twarzą Boga.”

„Ja nie potrzebuję być w radiu. Nie potrzebuję być w MTV.”

„Po pewnym czasie takiej egzystencji, po zawieszeniu w próżni, przestajesz dostrzegać swoje ciało. Przestajesz się myć, golić… to jak medytacja. Myślę, że do podobnego stanu umysłu doszli Jezus, Jim Morrison, Lennon i paru innych. Wszyscy na końcu wyglądali podobnie.”

„Większość ludzi wyobraża sobie duchy jako postacie w białych prześcieradłach, spacerujące nocą po cmentarzu. To bardzo infantylna wizja. Tymczasem duchy istnieją naprawdę. To fakt, którego ja doświadczam. Są istotami, które istnieją w równoległym do naszego wymiarze, w którym nie ma czasu i przestrzeni. Potrafią komunikować się z naszym wymiarem, ale tylko z wybranymi jednostkami. Normalnie istnieją jako nierozpoznane zbiory energii, które odpowiadają za ludzkie uczucia. Ludzie sami w sobie nie mają biologicznych mechanizmów generowania uczuć. Ludzie bez duchów, dających im uczucia, są tylko maszynami, transporterami molekuł. Jest grupa duchów, która się mną opiekuje. Pomagamy sobie nawzajem. Jestem ich narzędziem (…) Kiedyś udzielałem wywiadu, w którym powiedziałem, że nie ma dla mnie znaczenia, czy będę żył, czy umrę za pięć minut. Następnego dnia miałem kilkugodzinną rozmowę z dziewczyną – duchem, która przyszła do mnie i bardzo wyraźnie powiedziała mi: „John, musisz żyć. To ważne. Nie możesz teraz umrzeć.””

„Sęk w tym że jestem dziwny, ale nigdy nie czułem się dziwny.”

„Obecnie mam przyjaciół w zespole i pośród duchów żyjących w innym wymiarze.”

“All around they is to
feel and watch you
they make patterns
to peel the sound”

“We have the ability to change our own reality.”

“A slave in the fields one night
He's running along
Gets far enough to be a free man
And he's feeling so strong”

“I'm dreading the time that is not near
As a man on a cross I have no fear
I can't believe these words I'm saying
You've got to feel your lines”

“Dream that you died
It takes you out of your mind
The black walls of space
Take me all the way”

“I have seen the world enough
I've drowned in my thoughts alot
I canceled heaven
I concede”

“I guess this is the first time in a video that I ever showed my arms since my arms have been scarred, 'cause my arms are-are pretty badly scarred. I guess people are always wondering so I might as well say that, um, that the way that my arms got the way that they look, um, is was from abcesses, which came from shooting huge amounts of drugs. The results could have been a lot worse, so I'm happy to have the scars from a period of my life where I was living destructively, just as a… as a sign of what I've been through. And, uh, these days, I-I'm, you know, being healthy and taking care of my body is so important to me. But looking at it here, is seems like my arms have gotten better since then, so… That's nice to see.”

“A child has this relationship to a creative force, you know? Yeah, your parents gradually, you know, they gradually shove your face in the concrete, and so do your teachers and school system and…everything’s working against you, but…but…but the force of creativity nature is not working against you - it’s right there for you, at any time! You just…you know, you just have to be ready not to judge yourself and to be open to whatever’s gonna come through you and to-to be ready to not…to not…eeeh to not judge what comes through, but be alright with it, whatever it is, cause it’s just the universe of expressing yourself.”

“I've never been very smart
but I connect you with your shadow”

“I can't say that I'm crazy, you know, about watching this. I don't like the person who I was back at this time, and-and, uh… I think I had all my priorities in the wrong places and I think if I were to spend to much time playin guitar as I did picking out stupid shorts and stupid hats and stupid, you know, overcoats, I would've… I would've been able to write some good songs, you know? I can't watch this version of myself and be at all happy about it. I want to… I want to strangle myself when I see this video. I was 18 years old. 18-year-old that deserved to be slapped upside his head.”

“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.”

“The curtains were made for moving
Cause you know sometimes you're not always there”

“Dedicating all of before
to now
emphasizing these things
that won't allow”

“I guide my fate
And what it's good for
There's no telling
It's blood
It's a flood”

“Pot put me in a position where I could walk far away from my playing and hear it in the second person. It helped me step away from myself. I stopped seeing the guitar as a thing I'm holding in my hands and started seeing it as a thing that's at one with outer space and nothingness.”

“Well, I don't even know how to drive in this life, so I'm pretty far from ever having the life of being a stuntdouble. I liked- I had an Evil Knievel doll when i was a kid, that's about it!”

“You don't throw your life away
Going Inside
You get to know
who's watching you
And besides
you resides
in your body”

“Pagers are my life--I try to get them in to our music as much as possible.”

“I fail to do
What I'm trying
I've been these walls
And everyone who dies
Hears other times”

“Everything is eternal
Nothingness does not exist
No thing has ever become nothing
And nothing has never become something
What is has always been and will always be”

“Well, I don't need protection
One life begins, another dies
Bad timing
I won't last”

“I've been in pain hope it doesn't show
I've been insane well the time is slow”

“You know this moment in time
Is all my life
Every day is each
day that's passed
Every person alive
is everyone's who's died”
