Sheryl's heroes are in black and white photos, and so are mine. - John Mayer

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

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 become very domesticated, it becomes riding my bike, and the music thing — the music thing doesn't leave but it's kind of less put upon me by other people as a musician.

Songs can be Trojan horses, taking charged ideas and sneaking past the ego's defenses and into the open mind.
