I'm singing what I want to sing based on the emotion of what that day feels like. That's what comes out of my mouth and guitar. That impacts people. They know anything can happen.

John Mayer

It is too easy to watch music coming out of people's mouths lately and you're not quite sure if it was written with the best of intentions.

John Mayer

Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain.

John Mayer

People want to see musicians sing things that come from their own mind and own heart in real time, responding to the moment for them.

John Mayer

I feel my shows are like a late-night talk show that we settle down and do every night

John Mayer

Everybody is just a stranger, but that's the danger in going my own way.

John Mayer

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.

High School is like a spork: it's a crappy spoon and a crappy fork, so in the end it's just plain useless.

John Mayer

I think people right now, the age they are, being 21 and 22, really do want to find a group of bands they can take with them through life.

John Mayer

Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day.

John Mayer

I feel strikingly domestic. We're in our own world with two busses and trucks.

John Mayer

Even if you think the flame has died, there's at least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as f***ed as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see her again,

John Mayer

Never, ever underestimate the power of 'Id Like that.

John Mayer

I can't wait to figure out what wrong with me, so I can say this is the way that I used to be.

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. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, hey girl, magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no - I want magenta!
