“I had nothing to say – I was going through a time in my life where I didn’t really want to share what was going on, but I didn’t want to be boring,” Mayer tells Guy Raz on NPR’s All Things Considered, taped Friday in Philadelphia.
“I remember thinking to myself, ‘We gotta give a Rolling Stone interview … I don’t want anybody at Playboy to think this is a boring interview.’ I got those lines so crossed, that what you read – among other things, obviously – is this complete miscalculation in why I was asked to do the interview.”
At the time, Mayer revealed racy details of his relationship with Jessica Simpson to Playboy and told Rolling Stone that he hadn’t gotten over Jennifer Aniston.
