Image
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
Jack White
Image
This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, 'What are you doing this Saturday?' and they'll be playing video games or watching cable, instead of building model cars or airplanes or doing something creative. Kids today never say, 'Man, I'm really into remote-controlled steamboats.'
Jack White
Image
Your passion must be tempered with patience. Maybe long-suffering patience would be a better word.
Jack White
Image
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.

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.

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 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.

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.

If you emphasize one part of the song, it trivializes the rest of the music.
Jack White
Image
Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.
Jack White
Image
I don't like making my job easier. How are you accomplishing anything if there's no struggle? If I have to create a struggle that doesn't exist, I'll do that. Time and money constraints are a great way to do it.
Jack White
Image
Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.
Jack White
Image
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
Image
Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs
Jack White
Image
I've always worked to find really deep meaning of song and also at the same time having it covered in sugar, so it can be taken two or three different ways.
Jack White
Image
In all my songs, I take on roles and play characters. It's a unique way to explore ideas and decisions I might not think or make in real life.
Jack White
Image
I think the most important thing is to start with something that fits perfectly. Don't worry about having it in five colors.

Image
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.
Jack White
Image
Relationships of any kind are powerful, and they always influence an artist. It's inescapable.
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.
