John Mayer Quotes

Have no fear for giving in,
Have no fear for giving over.
You'd better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than never say what you need to say again.<p>Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken,
Even as the eyes are closing,
Do it with a heart wide open.

If I had done things differently, I'd probably have the paparazzi waiting around for me. At the studio where I've been recording, Jessica Simpson is working there, too. The paparazzi are outside waiting for her to come out. That's the result of her decisions. My decisions have led me to the point that when I walk out in front of the paparazzi, I'm considered a waste of film.

I am driving up '85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon,
Just stuck inside the gloom.
4 more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind.<p>Because I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life.

Yes, I'm grounded, got my wings clipped,
I'm surrounded by all this pavement.
Guess I'll circle while I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry.<p>Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar,
Someday I'll be so damn much more.
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for.

Someone asked me the other day, “What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?” And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’”

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends,
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been.
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing,
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring.<p>Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation;
Half of my heart takes time.
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
Oh, with half of my heart.

I never worked with T.I. Here's the back story to that Wikipedia nugget: I was a guest on TRL and happened to get my hands on the list of goofy, un Andrew-Miller-like questions I was going to be asked before I walked on set. One of the questions was "Who do you like more, T.I. or [I forgot the other southern rap artist]?" So I snuck to the bathroom and searched "T.I." on my Blackberry. I memorized as much information as I could and then announced that we were working together.

Absolutely, because during sex, I’m just going to run a filmstrip. I’m still masturbating.

Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.

There's a real self-serving element to hip-hop that threatens its life span.

I love the Grammy nominations this year. Anybody who really loves what they do got rewarded for it. It's not a death match between Ray Charles and Jessica Simpson.

Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm.

I know if it was the Time 99, I would've been off the list.

I won't ever get on stage at a comedy club when people know about it.

I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick.
