I never wanted to play guitar when I was younger. I wanted to be a drummer because everybody plays guitar, and I didn't want to do what everybody else wanted to do.

I love the Arctic Monkeys . Who doesn't? I'd love to see them live, but haven't got round to it yet. I never get to see bands because I'm never in the same town for more than two seconds.

A riff can take on the aspect of a chorus in a listener's psyche.
Jack White
Image
It's funny because when you do become successful, you're forced to look backwards and try to crawl back into the womb where you first started to create.
Jack White
Image
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
Jack White
Image
The bottom line is we must get off our duff and make an effort to succeed. Trust me on this, when you see someone successful in any of the arts they have been willing to make an extra effort.

Image
Passion is the breath we take, the water we drink to sustain ourselves. Without air and water we perish without passion an artist will wither and blow away.
Jack White
Image
In my bands, I don't really walk around telling people what to play, just out of respect really. I mean, if there's something I feel in my gut, I'll bring it up.
Jack White
Image
There aren't that many things left that haven't already been done, especially with music. I'm interested in ideas that can shake us all up.
Jack White
Image
I have so many projects to work on I'm going to have to live to at least 120 to get some of them done.

Image
Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: 'I'll do this for now, but I'm really a drummer.' That's what I'll put on my passport application.
Jack White
Image
Music is what I have to do, I only answer the questions so that I can do it.
Jack White
Image
The only person who is hurt by jealousy is you... Eliminate that word from your life... it may not make you unsuccessful selling your art, but it will destroy your happiness.
Jack White
Image
I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.
Jack White
Image
Vinyl survived, we managed not to kill it. Knowing that you’ve taken part in this fight... You can’t imagine the happiness it brings. Every time I see a kid going out of the store with a vinyl record under the arms, my heart beats faster. Music should only be this. An intense emotion.

The true professional makes art when he is not feeling good, if the studio is too cold or too warm or the walls are falling down. We are painters and we paint. If I were a sculptor, I'd sculpt.
Jack White
Image
With the White Stripes we were trying to trick people into not realising we were playing the blues. We did not want to come off like white kids trying to play black music from 100 years ago so a great way to distract them was by dressing in red, white and black.

Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.
Jack White
Image
We don't have to live up to the expectations of others. Passion is personal. As long as our passion is fueled with the right stuff then keep on plodding forward. I'll never be Mark Twain or Tom Clancy. But that's okay, because neither of them could teach you to mix a boundless number of grays, or where to place the catch light in a portrait.

I cannot judge what motivates people. We are all moved by one of four things or a combination of these four things: money, romance, recognition or survival.
