I don't like to do burnt material on stage. Even though my crowd loves to hear me do old stuff, I don't like to do old stuff. So I do very, very little of it.

I don't listen to my old stuff very often at all.

One of my rules is: Never listen to your old stuff.

Flea and Anthony are into funk, like old school Meters and stuff like that.

I like watching old stuff. I like old Al Pacino movies. 'Serpico.' 'Dog Day Afternoon.'

You have to be very careful how you insert new stuff, 'cause people want to hear the old stuff. It's like cooking, you know? You can't put too many peppers into the eggs... otherwise it's going to be distasteful.
