Flea

I grew up with all these old jazz guys in the '70s in L.A., and they grew up idolizing Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Lester Young - all of these incredible musicians.

Anything worth doing good takes a little chaos.

The apparatus has to serve our improbability and improvisation. Being good and playing the songs is not enough.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I love Hindi films.
