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.

I've figured out my learning curve. I can look at something and somehow know exactly how long it will take for me to learn it.

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.

Nothing feels worse than having to break the stage down before the performance, and I mean nothing.

Atlanta's my musical home. It really was the place where I really came alive.

I'm not deluded enough to think that everyone who knows my name is a listener. You know, I hope that part of that interest - part of that public interest - has to do with me still making records that people like.

I'm the only person I know who's got a bunch of money.

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.

I get recognized somewhere in between like local meteorologist and national meteorologist.

People are really concerned with what other people are saying about them.

I've learned to appreciate everything that has been given to me.

When you're just open but not honest, then you start free-associating garbage.
