“For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way...” — John Frusciante Quote

“For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.”

“But I have been avoiding talking about what I'm doing now because it's frustrating for people to hear about things that aren't available yet.”

“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.”

“They who have conquered doubt and fear have conquered failure.”

“People speak of the fear of the blank canvas as though it is a temporary hesitation, a trembling moment of self-doubt. For me it was more like being abducted from my bed by a clown, thrust into a circus arena with a wicker chair, and told to tame a pissed-off lion in front of an expectant crowd.”

“Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.”
