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.
Jack White
Image
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.

A riff can take on the aspect of a chorus in a listener's psyche.

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.
Jack White
Image
You want to figure out how you want to play the guitar what your niche would be. Well you just start digging deeper. When you're digging deeper in rock and roll you're on a freight train heading straight for the blues.

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

I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.

Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.

Every time there's a list of the 100 greatest records of all time, all those albums were recorded in two days. Hardly any of them took a year, I'll tell you. In this day and age, I think it's important that people know that.

I've always loved the word blunderbuss. I've always thought that it was a beautiful word and that it could mean several different things.
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.

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.

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.'

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.
