    A quote from John Frusciante about it:

    "I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the eternal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music...and emotions. Uh, there've always been people who've been concerned with the process of what they do and haven't been very concerned with what the outer result of what they're going to do is-is when it leaves their sphere. Um, and I believe the more....even a great musician becomes concerned with-with what it is when it leads their immediate sphere, the more...the less contact you have with what's going on inside you, because you start to equate the music with the reaction that it's supposed to...what it naturally is, which is a something that takes place inside you, that you have been given a gift of being able to realise and to bring it a manifestation.

    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."
