Captain Lone Wolf Gonzaullas was one of a kind. I'm sure he would agree to this truth, If you continuously compete with others, you will become bitter. If you constantly compete with yourself, you can become great.

More quotes by Jack White
Smart art galleries know it's not the words on paper but the emotion in the piece that makes clients pull out the credit card or check book. The gallery's number one concern is will this stuff sell? What your bio, artist's statement or resume articulates will be of no help if you don't make art that connects with buyers.

There are distractions, all around. There's so much media, for a young kid to battle against, to get to something soulful. You have to make a decision, on your own, what you can take from these people, if you can dig deeper. It's nice to be able to let people dig deeper.

I am a commercial artist because I paint to earn a living. We who earn money from what we produce are all commercial artists.

The day that music is taken for free by the majority is the day that the phrase sell out doesn't exist any more.

Many days you will want to give up because of rejections and failures. Passion to be an artist will help you prevail where others fail.

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.

Your passion must be tempered with patience. Maybe long-suffering patience would be a better word.

The Bottom Line: If people don't LOVE our work, we will not be able to sell what we make.

I think you can't really escape any kind of spiritual education as a child, whether it's New Age or Judaism or Buddhism or whatever it is. You can't escape it, even if you completely disagree with it, you still have it as a foundation that you base things off of.
Jack White
Punk is an attitude, not a genre, age group, or time period. What's interesting is trying to define the blues and punk in different ways. They are very close cousins.

Collectors are paying for our education by purchasing our art.

Art doesn't sell itself, it has to be sold.
Jack White
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
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.

For new bands, I think a major label is the safest place to be. Independent labels are the ones getting away with murder. A lot of them are hobbyists who rip-off young bands, taking advantage of people who would never get signed to a major.

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.

Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.

I've always been making up my own restrictions for myself, from day one, and it's compelling, because it forces me to think. That's always been a driving force for me.

I think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.

Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs
