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've figured out my learning curve. I can look at something and somehow know exactly how long it will take for me to learn it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
John Mayer
Image
Fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers, so mothers be good to your daughters, too.

You know I used to be the back porch poet with my book of lines, always hoping knowing all the time, I'm probably never gonna find the perfect rhyme. . .For heavier things

Sometimes I wish that I was a bong hit, you'd let me in and you would love every minute.

If you get half a million, at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people, if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now.

How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

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.

I have these accidents, these mistakes, these self-inflicted wounds, and then I tear my head to shreds about it for days.
