On writing an autobigraphy at 41:
"It definitely doesn't feel like I'm done. As a person and a musician, I feel like I'm just getting started. Now I know what I'm doing. I kind of look at this as the halftime report.
On surviving his drug problems:
"I'm not sure how I did it. I never had a death wish, never had an undercurrent of suicicdal desires. And like {bandmate and best friend} Flea told me, "If an airplane crashes, Anthony is going to be the guy that survives." I have a love for life and the beauty in life."
On writing a book versus music:
"I do not want to shift vocations at all. This was a lot harder and more time-consuming. There was no instant gratification. Oddly enough there was a shocking degree of clarity to my memories. I remember strange names and places and experiences.
On being an over 40 rocker:
"I haven't been so beaten down by the passage of time. I feel fresher than I did ten years ago, ideawise and energywise. I've kind of refined my approach to mainly not being a self-centered jerk. Being a self-centered jerk is so tiring and aging and draining.
On whether the chili peppers will ever perform wearing only socks on their private parts again:
"I would never rule it out. It was really meaningful the first time we did it. We've only done that maybe a total of 15 times out of 1,500 shows and people got fixated on it.
On who should play him in the movie version of his book:
"Natalie Portman, for sure. Why not?"
