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.

More quotes by Jack White
There's Catholic guilt about things, then there's the guilt of being the youngest of 10, so when nice things happen to you, you're not really allowed to enjoy them.
Jack White
Art doesn't sell itself, it has to be sold.
Jack White
Your passion must be tempered with patience. Maybe long-suffering patience would be a better word.
Jack White
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
I think the most important thing is to start with something that fits perfectly. Don't worry about having it in five colors.
Jack White
Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.
Jack White
The day that music is taken for free by the majority is the day that the phrase sell out doesn't exist any more.
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
It is not the style but the quality and emotional impact of work that makes it marketable. Unless we make art that connects with people, we won't sell much, no matter what the style or subject.
Jack White
If you have twenty guys in the room and you just bring in one girl, you change the entire mood and everyone plays different.

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.
Jack White
The main things to rebel against - over-production, too much technology, overthinking. It's a spoiled mentality everything is too easy. If you want to record a song, you can buy Pro Tools and record four hundred guitar tracks. That leads to overthinking, which kills any spontaneity and the humanity of the performance.
Jack White
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.
Jack White
Some guys are afraid of fashion even those this isn't really fashion. It's more style. A lot of guys don't want to look like they care too much. The idea of standing in a fiting room and trying things on and saying, How does this look? I think maybe that experience is a little bit intimidating.
Jack White
I trust no one who hasn’t time for music.
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
Happiness is more important than money any day.
Jack White
It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.
Jack White
Your attitude is more important than the events happening around you. Artists develop a syndrome taught in art schools. It is a malady titled, 'Artistic Temperament'... rudeness, excuses, slovenliness, laziness, clutter, addictions, non-commercial attitudes, un-professionalism... and a good reason for failure.
Jack White
I came up from growing up with a lot of Catholic guilt, a lot of punk rock, hipster guilt in the later years where I think people have thrown a lot of things on me. Where I always felt like I'm not supposed to tell the horn section what to play or I don't want to come off egotistical.
