When autumn comes, it doesn't ask. It just walks in, where it left you last. And you never know, when it starts until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart.

I mean, I’m quite happy. I’m happy in all aspects of my life. I'm very happy in all aspects of my life.

There's a real self-serving element to hip-hop that threatens its life span.
John Mayer
Image
It’s my failure to sound like my heroes that’s allowed me to sound like myself.

You look so good it hurts sometimes.

I may have taken someone through the wringer psychologically, but I've never been sinister.

Who I am as a guitarist is defined by my failure to become Jimi Hendrix.
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

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.

It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.
John Mayer

Not worrying is a skill. It's a skill not breaking down every single moment.
John Mayer

When you do an interview with me, you're talking to a cheap imitation of the person that I really am. There's no magic in my words, it's just me talking.
John Mayer

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.

I went to my library, right? And I started to research the Bill of Rights and I did not technically find anything that said all Americans shall eat shrimp with whoever they like.

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.

Nothing feels worse than having to break the stage down before the performance, and I mean nothing.

If you're good, and you know you're good, and you know you're better than those people getting paid to do it, you still have to have an open ear….Nobody's music is the enemy of your music…The idea that someone else has made it when they shouldn't have made it is toxic thinking.
