I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn't have bothered me.

More quotes by Jack White
I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.
Jack White
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
Mastery is the rudder, Mystery is the sail and Magic the wind to move you in your chosen direction.
Jack White
Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.
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
I believe I am a better director than actor. I enjoy acting if the part is right. Directing comes very naturally to me. I enjoy it. I am very confident in my work.
Jack White
If you emphasize one part of the song, it trivializes the rest of the music.
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.
Jack White
Technology is a big destroyer of emotion and truth. Auto-tuning doesn’t do anything for creativity. Yeah, it makes it easier and you can get home sooner but it doesn’t make you a more creative person. That’s the disease we have to fight in any creative field: ease of use.
Jack White
I just think old old movies, they make you concentrate and pay attention so much more. They feel so warm. A lot of modern digital videotape, it's just too bright. Don't know why, it's not warm.
Jack White
Art doesn't sell itself, it has to be sold.
Jack White
I keep guitars that are, you know, the neck's a little bit bent and it's a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle.
Jack White
When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.
Jack White
We learn to beat fear by doing.
Jack White
A riff can take on the aspect of a chorus in a listener's psyche.
Jack White
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.
Jack White
Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.
Jack White
I probably could have a hip-hop-style entourage of 40 people coming with me to the club or whatever, and I don't do that. And I think sometimes maybe I should. It just makes things easier - if you don't like being by yourself, maybe just don't do it ever.
Jack White
I'd got accepted to the seminary in Wisconsin, and I was gonna become a priest, but the last second I thought, 'I'll just go to public school.' I had just gotten a new amplifier in my bedroom, and I didn't think I was allowed to take it with me.
Jack White
Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.
