Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > John Mayer
"I'm going to give you the scoop and I'm going to let people quote your interview. Celebrities read everything. They are their own biggest stalkers; they know every single gossip site, and every single post as it goes up. They act like they don't-but they all do. Celebrities, by that estimation . . . do terrible research because all they ever do is read that without anything else to give them perspective. They're such bad researchers and their science is such shit that they sit in front of a computer for one hour every morning and read one control group. If it were a scientific experiment, it would be the equivalent of only researching what this pill does to pregnant women. There are people walking around all day having only informed themselves by reading blogs that begin with, "Bitch probably." If you're reading a blog that says, "Bitch probably uses a rake as a comb," you're probably on that blog. There's so much other information out there to be had. Read some fan mail; read about the people who said they were sick for half of last year and your music got them through it. We are terrible at not reading all the data, so that's how I feel. If you're going to go on that stuff and read it, then you'd better understand that all you're doing is hanging out in one wing of the psych ward. You go, "People really are crazy?" No-visit a different floor. Go hang out in the waiting room for a minute and talk to some normal people. It's just as much my responsibility to keep my head out of that, but I read it and I accept it. I also know I can walk outside and somebody will say, "I love your record and you got me through some really tough times." I love meet and greets more than ever because that's the other side of the data."

john mayer is a DOUCHE
FIRSTTTTTT
oh btw first
ew
john mayer is a freak
fist
Shut up, you pompous-ass douchebag.
LOVEEEEE HIM
Whatever
I love that dude. He is intellectual-hot.
Of course celebrities are their own biggest stalkers. They're all self-absorbed assholes who don't care about anyone, but themselves. Thats how most of the female celebrities whore their childrens baby pics out for millions cuz they want to exploit everything and everyone in their lives.
I totally agree with what he's saying. People focus too much on the negative when half the time there is way more positive stuff out there!
John Mayer is SOOO much better than you Perez! You are obviously not going to bring him down, so you might as well stop trying.
boo
i think thats actually smart what he's saying. oasis
"I kissed Perez and I liked it!" get over it already you really sound like a big time douche bag.
Primo
FIRST!!!? How about 10th?? LOL John has always been very offbeat and weird
I'm sorry but that was unintelligble.
He is right. They complain, but when photogs stop taking their picture, they become like Bai LIng.
I love him!
john mayer is zexxyyy
lol. im sure all those celebs google themselves. i would too.
he's a douche.
Perez you reaaally need to move on.
john mayer is hottttttttttt
1st looks like mark anthony in this pic lol
first??
This is one reason why i've started to like him - he is extrodinarily candid with the press and has an awesome sense of humor. That and the video of him dressed as a bear messing around with people before his concert — absolutely hilarious. I think he tries to humanize celebrities which I really like, he's really appreciative of both criticism and positive feedback.
I think celebrities are fucking retarded. All of them. They act like they're doing us a huge favor by gracing us with their presence. We all end up in the same place when it's all said and done, so quit worrying about how famous you all are and do something productive!
John Mayer sucks
woah
Shut up with the firsts.
Mario, I hope you didn't pass on your HIV to him
& Perez…stop being Jealous of him - - - it's blatantly obvious that you hate him ever since he didn't give you any attention about that stupid kiss. You used to be obsesed with him.
I miss the OLD JM. Sadly, he is missed. The NEW JM is an a-hole, asswipe.
Does this mean he reads all the comments, too?
HI, JOHN!!!
I FUKIN HATE THIS DOUCHE BAG..HIS SONGS SUCK AND HES UGLY AS HELL
Sounds like a good perspective on things. At least he will admit he reads the gossip!
SKEEN
he's totally on drugs…sounds like a total coke rant…
Is it Me or does Perez NOT make sense??
mayer may very well be self-obsessed, but he's got a fabulously quirky sense of humor, and above all, he's extremely smart. I don't listen to his music, but I really admire the guy. He's intelligent and doesn't let this shit get to him. And again, I read his post and Perez's posts that were both deleted hours after the supposed kiss…I don't think Mayer is gay. I don't doubt there was a kiss. I still think it was his humor or his drunkenness that caused it…and no matter what Perez says, I don't think he's a bad guy at all.
Re: L – Good one "L" !!
HELLO JOHN!!
I love him
I want to ride his finger. I bet he's a wild ride!
Holy holy shit…This guy is waaaayyyy too much.
The biggest tool of a celebrity in a long…long time.
Hey John Mayer……you thrive on this bullshit you read..
T…O……..O…….L
wow. talk about gaining respect for someone. i agree with him totally. haha i guess you learn how dumb celebrities are after you date jessica simpson.
total coke rant for sure!!..love it.
Perhaps celebrities are not uneducated after all.
He must have been trashed out of his skull when he kissed you. Did you slip him a mickey?
He is hard to take seriously though. Kind of superficial when it comes to the ladies. Jennifer Aniston is way to smart for him.
If you actually read the whole quote, you would see that there is a lot of knowledge and truth to what he is saying.
What great advice! Celebrities aren't immune to the feelings of wanting to be accepted we all have. It's in our biology. That's why humans have actually survived this long…we depend on each other and are hard-wired to want to be liked. (Think survival in the cave man tribal days.)
Super smart of you, John. I hope other celebs (and all people) will focus on doing balanced research. And the truth is, it's nobody's fucking business what any of us do as long as it's legal and ethical (then again, ethical is a whole nother can o' worms.) Thanks for the sanity, John.
I love John Mayer and totally want to impregnate him with my beautiful babies. We can name them all kinds of freaky names too.
…you all say what u need to say, this man is a wonderful artist, he is also very good to his fans
I LOVE HIM!!!!
I give a fat fuck what clebrities think about what I think about their stupid asses. They dont give a fuck about us, why should we give a fuck about them?
They make money off of us, so why shouldnt bitches make money off of making fun of them making maney off of dumb asses who are to simple to see through the celebrity fake shit?
I say fuck em all!
my head HURTS. and i have heartburn from this mud coffee. thanks mom.
I'm confused….
John- If you're reading this..plz dump Jennifer, she's too uptight and boring. You need me : )
LAST TIME I CHECKED, JOHN MAYER WAS A MUSICIAN…NOT A FRIGGIN PREACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The caption should read: "I kissed Perez and I got all the vaccines to prove it"!
All stars read every negative blog about them, huh? Was he talking about himself, Jessica Simpson, or Jen Aniston?
I google myself, and I'm no one.
what a dick, seriously. I don't understand how his alleged musical career gets him this kind of attention. When will we stop writing about this FOOL!
becasue of the picture, I imagine the voice of Tony Shalhoub (Monk) doing a soundbite to this…..
Well I am glad that he reads gossip blogs. Dear John, I went to one of your concerts in Los Angeles. I was bord out of my mind. I was excited to see you because I saw you on TV performing with Alicia Keys. Your solo act ALONE on your guitar was amazing!! However, I see you put no effort in your concerts. You have to give the audience something to look forward to. Play some cover songs, put a spin on it. Something!!! Damn…. Until then I will never buy another song of yours. Sorry.. I used to Love you
He just keeps getting better. Man, he is right. Although I am responding through Perez's site. I do not take info away from his site thinking that is all in the world. It is fun, eye candy. I do like reading about the mis-fortune (sometimes true, sometimes not) of RICH, SPOILED celebs. I mean COME ON. But with true talents like the John Mayers and Brad Paisleys (their are so many more) that OBVIOUSLY stay true to themselves, I find it hard to think about them outside their music world. So when Perez or People post something about them, I find myself not wanting to play the game.
JOHN MAYER ROCKS!
He is an ass, Jen needs to dump this poop out of her life! He proved already that he is not man enough to be with someone talented and fabolous… he will do better with you Perez… if you want him that bad it's all yours… he is a world reject… I can't stand him!
you KNOW john mayer is reading these comments
I DO NOT SEE WHAT OTHERS SEE IN THIS GUY!!! - - - UGH!!!
I DO NOT SEE WHAT OTHERS SEE IN THIS GUY!!! - - - UGH!!!
I DO NOT SEE WHAT OTHERS SEE IN THIS GUY!!! - - - UGH!!!
I like John but I disagree with him. If celebs read about themselves than they would at least try to fix what everyone is slamming them for. Example Mariah Carey would stop dressing like a 13 year old and Jessica Simpson would stop walking around with her mouth hanging open. Lilo would burn her leggings and Jennifer Aniston would stop purposely posing and pointing her ass at the paps cameras etc, etc, etc.
Windbag Mayer, enough with the yammering. If it's all about the music, make it seem that way at least.
BULLSHIT! I had backstage "meet and greet" tickets for a show of his (that he gave me-old friends) and he left directly after the show. No meet and greet with anyone…What an effing douche.
Re: whate –
I WAS TOTALLY THINKING THE SAME THING!! I hope it's not true!!
And once again you are making yourself look unbelievably immature and desperate. You're living in an emotionally imbalanced dream world, Perez. You can harp on this all you want but it's never going to yield the things you're hoping for. Give it up. You look more pathetic every time you mention it.
I love him. He is so intelligent and connected. He tells it like it is. I appreciate that as a fan. He has a way with words. There is nothing sexier than a man who is cerebral and has a sense of humor. He is extremely talented, and is great at marketing his work and himself as a great contributing artist. Maybe his music isn’t for everyone, but the words in them should be. He’s lyrics have lessons that humanity as a whole should think about.
i love his solo's guitar
He's right about focusing on the positive but I think he is giving it way too much thought. I completely ignore haters. Nothing annoys them more.
I think that it's great what he's doing. Of course celebrities will read about themselves to know where they stand in the public eye. It's not like their publicists are going to tell them every detail that has been published about them. If I was famous I would definitely want to be in the know. P.S. I saw him in concert a few weeks back and he is very well-spoken.
BEST COMMENT EVER THAT WAS ON PEREZ
I got to say its half funny half crazy but in the end it is true.
Thanks for enlighting us, Mayer lol
"If you're going to go on that stuff and read it, then you'd better understand that all you're doing is hanging out in one wing of the psych ward. You go, "People really are crazy?"
Looks like he's been reading perezhilton.com… everyone on here is a loon, myself included. Mayer's hot though!!
I've been a musician for well over 20 years and I can honestly say that there is nothing special about this guys playing. It's like a cheap knockoff of SRV, a little of Clapton….and shitty vocals. And I don't really care of he made out with Perez. I will say this, and apparently John is reading this, how in the hell do you get the pieces of ass that you do? Jennifer Aniston? For the love of God man?!?!? She could do better than you!!! And by that I mean ME!!!!
he is right, I guarantee most all celebs hop on these blogs to see what is being said about them even though most would deny it! And yes, a small population relative to the rest of the world does hop on daily and read the celeb blogs so he does have a very good point, if the world read these blogs and believed everything they read, tickets wouldn't be selling and some of the more famous celebs would be running out of fans….
i get that you like to belittle the people who throw their fame around.. but dont belittle john mayer, he's so far greater then what you'll ever be perez, you're just the uninspired version regina george and shes fictional
I agree he's obsessed with his own ideas of how the world works, but you have to give him credit for the point of view. That was a very clever way to throw a dig in at people who write blogs and papers like Perezhilton.com and also try and appear above it will still accepting he reads it… haha he should be a politician.
we are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
I alway said they researched themselves, I was right. Which is why I say it as I see it but in the nicest way a possible.
Mario
You kissed John Mayer? Wow, you never mentioned that before…
Dude, let it go. You're just obsessed because he's the only boy you've kissed in years. It's too bad that all of the 18-year-old disney idols aren't interested in fat bitter queens.
He's got a point. For everyone who dishes out the negative comments, blogs, and critiques on various celebs, there are the postive ones who say nothing but NICE things about the celebs. Just want to add: Don't believe the hype of all the negativism. Some people love to bring others down because it makes them feel better about themselves and bad news and negativism sells.
Perez there is lots of truth in that. Just because you kissed him and things didn't work out your way doesn't mean you should be so bitter towards him. He's got some smart things to say, and he's a very talented artists. Give him credit for that at least. Think about it.
This one for you John:

John Mayer (if you're reading this, which you probably are) then you are a HYPOCRITE! I guess what I'm saying is, I appreciate your point, but I don't buy it!
john mayer buys his underwear at Wal-Mart.
I hate celebrities.. they are all egomaniac assholes. I just read these websites to have a good laugh at their foibles and shortcomings and fugly photos of them…
Is he talking to other celebrities because I don't think the average anonymous individual really cares about those kind of problems. I think he needs to stop thinking about it so much and just focus on the positive and enjoy his fame and fortune and if he's up to it, try and make the world a better place to boot.
GROSS he is so GROSS
This guy's 15 minutes have been up for a long, long time. He's an untalented, ugly boy who couldn't form a coherent thought if his pointless life depended on it.
Also I know John Mayer reads all this crap because he's so insecure and desperately wants to be liked so I hope he takes my advise in the above comment.
too bad most of the idiots on this site (as judging by these comments) completly misunderstood what he was talking about.
Are you kidding??? I don't tell you what to read John, so don't f*cking tell me what to read.
