Mayer are arrogant, but Mayer is friendly and
open-minded. According to interview with MTV,
Mayer explains, "I think a lot of artists are
purposely not nice because they feel like it
really augments their whole image. I like the
idea of not having an image to uphold. I like
making records and being good at making
records and playing the guitar and singing.
And when I am off the job I'm like, 'Hi, how
are you?' It must be hard to be a hard ass
because it takes a lot of dedication to ignore
someone." |

Why Georgia, Mayer explains lyrically
about his struggles and wonders in life. "Either
way I wonder sometimes / About the outcome / Of a
still verdictless life."
