CNN: Have you ever thought about settling down with someone?
Mayer: I think “Battle Studies” is sort of like being smart enough to know you gotta change some things, but not strong enough to get around to doing it yet. But isn’t that 32? Be 32 when you’re 32. Don’t be 50 when you’re 32, because next thing you know, I’m going to be 60 years old walking 18-year-old Russian models into Mr. Chow acting like that’s normal.
CNN: Do you see yourself getting married and having kids?
Mayer: I’m pretty Norman Rockwell-like, so I can see myself in that setting. But I might also have expectations in life that don’t match my behavior in life. I mean, I’m a musician who travels the world playing songs to thousands of people at the same time — and yet sometimes I believe that I’m going to be able to blacktop a driveway and drop kids off to school. I think they’re both going to have to give a little bit. So right now, let a man enjoy the last couple of years of writing good songs before he meets the woman of his dreams, and dies inside, and can’t ever write another song that’s any good because they’re not about being empty, or lost or lonely.
OHMAN THAT LAST SENTENCE. </3
