More quotes by John Mayer
The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, No I'm happy for you? Thats when it's really sad.
John Mayer
I'm not an icon. Not even in America.

What I've learned in my life, it's a very interesting social study for me, to go back and forth between being the guy at home and being the guy on the road and being the guy in studio and being the guy in the interview. The environment around you has so much to do with your character, and when I'm home, my character really changes quite a bit.
John Mayer
I've realized you can use a fork as a spoon if you use it rapidly enough.

John Mayer
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.
John Mayer
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
Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.
John Mayer
It’s my failure to sound like my heroes that’s allowed me to sound like myself.
John Mayer
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
John Mayer
God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me, but I can't break through at all.
John Mayer
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
Waiting on the World to Change.
John Mayer
Atlanta's my musical home. It really was the place where I really came alive.
John Mayer
Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing.
John Mayer
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.
John Mayer
Sometimes you tell someone to never call you again and then the phone rings and you hope it's them - it's the most twisted logic of all time.
John Mayer
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.
