John Mayer

I don't have anybody telling me what to do.

I have the obsessiveness of someone who's a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction. Except I never had the addiction.

No matter what I do, I'm going to earn it.

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.

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.

You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor.
