John Mayer

I'll tell you, I'll answer both.

The rise is that it was during a really cool time.

I don't think I would have had the same success I have now if I had begun

three years ago.

I think I'd be trying and trying and trying on social media and trying to get things out there.

I mean, there was just so fewer people doing things that you automatically had more people paying attention.

So I'm really lucky that I came up when there were just fewer cars on the road in terms of, you know, making songs and having people pay attention to you and being seen.

And now, where I am now,

the greatest thing is that any idea that I have, I can do.

Any idea that I have.

I feel like if there was a song idea that I had for any musician in the world, I'd have a pretty good chance of them at least listening to it.

And that's really interesting to me.

That to me is the greatest thing.

The songs I already have that I'll take for the rest of my life, but also...

Any idea that I have, I think any musician in the world would want to go like, I want to hear what Mare has for me.

So I feel like that's the idea that I could bring anything to life that came to mind.

That's the ultimate for me.

Oh, that's a good question.

And I think I saw...

the approval of women as being something that was like each time somebody liked what I did, I felt like because of the way that I was brought up, that that was the only time that was going to happen.
