Badass

"I remember reading biographies of my favorite musicians [when I was in Atlanta] — Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy — and I always knew growing up, “Let’s be really badass and really nice,” because if you’re badass and you’re nice and you’re engaging, then no one else has an excuse. It became part of the thing I wanted to do — to be excellent and kind.

It’s ridiculous to be able to have a $20 million vintage watch collection, and it’s also ridiculous to be able to have somebody climbing the hill across from your house and taking pictures of you. And it’s ridiculous to worry about your friends from high school, them getting upset for you not calling enough, then denouncing you. I used to want to repurpose the word “douchebag.” If somebody’s going to keep calling me one, I’m going to own it."

He's a bad ass, that's why I love him even more. I like bad asses, that's why I always have pain in the ass. Girls like bad boys, but still, they end marry with a good one. So be good Mayer, someday, not now ;)
