Quote

I need some kind of emotional stake in it to write my lyrics, assuming that place. It might just be an emotion I understand but am not currently experiencing necessarily.

It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you.

If you told me I was going to live to 240, I would take 10 years off and try and act. I don't have that kind of time, so I'd much rather stick to playing guitar.

Image
We're supposed to lose our friends to time, at an age when we're ready to agree to the terms of having lived a long life. Not now.
John Mayer
Image
I find myself in situations that I know would be unbelievable pictures and I have to gauge, Is this worth taking the camera out? Am I gonna lose the moment? Am I gonna get a dirty look from Sting?
John Mayer
Image
Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.
John Mayer
Image
I want to be the first guy from my generation who doesn't just represent one record but the promise of a lot of them.
John Mayer
Image
I look away at car crashes, and I know people who look away at car crashes, because it makes us uncomfortable to watch other people in pain.

May this be the year that things go your way most of the time, and when they don't, may you have great friends to lean on.

I don't jerk off because I'm horny. I'm sort of half-chick. It's like District 9. I can fire alien weapons. I can insert a tampon. No, I do it because I want to take a brain bath. It's like a hot whirlpool for my brain, in a brain space that is 100 percent agreeable with itself.

Maybe someday you can accuse somebody of being a poseur by selling out and playing blues music, but that's just not going to happen in my lifetime.
John Mayer
Image
I was smart enough to know it would probably make me a salable item for the paparazzi. I knew I'd have to move to a home that had a gate. But that pearl of possibility that lives in your heart when you meet somebody you want to know more about has such a different molecular density than everything else that you have to pursue it.

Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?
John Mayer
Image
I am not in 'Us Weekly.' I'd have to be going out with someone who is in there to be in there myself.
John Mayer
Image
I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
John Mayer
Image
How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.
John Mayer

In a time when everything can be next day and ordered and put on credit and paid for, music to me is promise, all promise, very little realization. It's the promise of walking into a room with a guitar and not being sure you will leave with an idea that will take, not being sure it won't slip away from you.

[on Jessica Simpson] Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me. Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm.

The night I was recognized for 'Daughters' at the Grammys was the night this record started. I knew I had bought the time to learn everything I needed before I started this one. 'Continuum' is not a shot in the dark, it's not a guesstimation.

I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable generally, though, I think I am.

Numb is the new deep, done with the old me, and talk is the same cheap it's been.
