High Times

Kiedis: “So we had sex one more time, and she gave me an interesting compliment that I never forgot. She said, ‘When you make love to me, it’s like you’re a professional.’”

Navarro: “So do you want to come up to the house and see my Basquiat?”

Drugs

Kiedis: “I don’t believe that drug addiction is inherently bad. It’s a really dark and heavy and destructive experience, but would I trade my experience for that of a normal person? Hell no. It was ugly, and there is nothing I know that hurts as bad, but I wouldn’t trade it for a minute. It’s that appreciation of every emotion in the spectrum that I live for.”

Navarro: “As long as I can get clean and strong, I’ll be okay. I don’t care about being high. I don’t have a bad life. I’m not a depressed guy. I just want to be able to perform well — and look good doing it.”

Rock & Roll

Kiedis: “In the great tradition of rap, I wrote a verse about my sexual prowess, and I called myself ‘Antoine the Swan,’ for no other reason than it rhymed. For years and years, people would come up to me and ask, ‘What’s the real thing behind the swan? You got a curve in your dick?’ In a way, it was an ironic reference, because my dancing style was so ungraceful and unswanlinke. I would attempt the physical maneuvers of a prima ballerina, and I’d wind up crashing or knocking over a table or pulling the curtains down.”

Navarro: “My next record, if I do one, I want to be like a suicide, with a funeral and everything. The first half will be me whining, and the second half will be someone missing me and telling me what it was like at the funeral: who went and how many minutes the eulogy lasted and what I looked like in my coffin. I just thought of it today. Maybe I should write the first half of the record, then really commit suicide and have somebody else write the second half. But how will I get to hear it? What if I don’t like what they’ve done?”
