More quotes by John Mayer
Yeah, Under The Table And Dreaming shaped the way that I think about writing songs.
John Mayer
I just wish they'd put a new word in the dictionary bigger than love because love just doesn't describe what I feel.
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
Waiting on the World to Change.
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
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
They say stay in the lines, but there's always something better on the other side.
John Mayer
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.
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.
John Mayer
Songs can be Trojan horses, taking charged ideas and sneaking past the ego's defenses and into the open mind.
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.
John Mayer
How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.
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
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.
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
Most times when you try to be all things to all people, you end up being nothing.
John Mayer
My hits are not hits.
John Mayer
I believe in blues, and I believe that it's been misrepresented.
John Mayer
[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.
John Mayer
Welcome to the real world, she said to me. Condescendingly. Take a seat. Take your life. Plot it out in black and white.
John Mayer
