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

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.
