John Frusciante Song Quotations

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

I think a solo moves forward the way a song does, because it's reflective of the chords that I'm considering as I'm soloing, and at the same time I'm going as much out on a limb as Frank Zappa used to, in terms of just going crazy on the instrument.

I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

Even if my songs are a bit low-spirited, they make me happy. I become happy when I hear sad songs. When you sing about sad things in a beautiful way, the atmosphere turns upside down
