Immediately after the first song, By the Way, Frusciante threw up his hands and ranted to roadies and singer Anthony Kiedis. After doing this a few times, he motioned to fans apparently upset about the sound: "You people down here keep complaining, and it's distracting me."

Dear people who care enough about what we do to write us a letter, I feel like a terrible, inconsiderate rock star writing a generic letter like this to everyone who has written to us. But at the same time, for us to write an individual response to everyone would be a physical impossibility. We've been on tour for the last nine months which makes it hard to even speak a coherent sentence. Also I've never written a letter to anyone my whole life. Sometimes if a person who has written an interesting letter leaves their phone number we call them. But most of you don't leave your #'s (and probably for good reason). I would like to take this opportunity to write a few aphorisms of mine just so you don't feel like this letter was written by someone we hire:
1. Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.
2. Music is the face of God.
3. The best service you can do for mankind is mind your own biznis.
4. Don't ever trust a man who sasys "I am going to kill you in the name of God."
5. Buy an Eric Dolphy record.
Love, John Frusciante (Froo-shon-tay)

"When I smile at the audience, I'm not smiling because I was told that you're supposed to smile to the audience. I smile because they're all smiling at me, and it's a great feeling to see all these happy people out there, and it makes me happy to see them happy..."

JF: "But I'm glad I have a girl cuz I write a lot of songs where I want a girl's voice on them, and now I know I don't need to find a girl, I can just use Josh."
Interviewer: "Excellent, how does he feel about it?"
JF: "He's fine. He's at my disposal. He's at my service."
*Interviewer translates in German*
JF: "Did you say anything nasty?"
Interviewer: "Yes, I made a comment on you saying that Josh is at your service, and I wondered, I was thinking to myself, rhetorically question myself, to what extent that service might go."
JF: "The same extent your mother gives to my cock."
Interviewer: "Oi oi oi oi oi!"

"When I was 22, my head was emptied. Maybe it was left only some sensitivity. I felt really empty, do you get me? Now my head is still empty, but I'm way happier than before. I write much more music and I'm more concentrated."

LAUT: Do you have an opinion regarding "One Hot Minute"?
John: To be honest, I haven't listened to it from beginning to end. I do only know the hits on it.
LAUT: Does it hurt when you hear these songs?
John: It's strange for me. It's about as if you are watching your ex-girlfriend having sex with another man. It's unpleasant cause you know that you should be there. And the things that I've heard are not really my favourites, they sound unbalanced to me.

"...I was in my girlfriend's car (Toni) listening to R.E.M.....I was in her car night and day 'cause I couldn't smoke pot in her house so I had to smoke pot in her car!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well let me just tell you something about Anthony: If you were to ask me to rate his oral sex capabilities, I would say that he gives the greatest head in Hollywood."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
had such a big period of time in my life where I didn't do anything at all, Now that I know what it feels like to not have music coming through me. Now that the spirit is in me, I consider it my responsibility to write and record as many songs as I can, and to put every bit of energy into music.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't ever let anybody tell you music is stupid. Fucking assholes!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The kids who smoked pot just seemed like burnouts to me. I was practicing ten to fifteen hours a day. But I never felt like I was expressing myself. When I found out Flea was stoned out of his mind at every show, that inspired me to be a pothead. I hadn't had that image of a pothead, he's certainly not a burnout.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Valley is the worst fuckin place on the planet....Nothing but malls. Shopping is God. But I am glad I grew up there because I just locked myself in my room and played guitar".

I write lyrics, I play the guitar, if the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead"

intervieuwer: "You work together with josh Klinghoffer on a new solo project at the moment right? Well, does he serve you well?"

John - "100 thousand..."
Chad - "Nah... Not a 100 thousand..."
John - "100 thousand, is what we were told !!"

"When people say that they can't play with their heart....
You know, it just makes me want to puke."

john is speaking about the ghosts...
interviewer: *laughs*... do you really speak to ghosts?
