Mayer: "I've never done anything because I thought it would look cool."

Mayer: "I knew what I wanted to do when I was 13 and I had to go through four years of high school to get out. That's a blessing, because I never had to lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling going, 'What am I going to do with my life?'"

Mayer: "Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing."

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

Mayer: "I've never been a bad boy."

Mayer: "I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare."

Mayer: "High School is like a spork: it's a crappy spoon and a crappy fork, so in the end it's just plain useless."

Mayer: "Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day."
