More quotes by Jack White
A lot of people in the media, and some everyday people, really aren't in search of the truth. They're in search of something worse than that. Money, yeah. I think the media's the kind of a thing where the truth doesn't win, because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.
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
Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.
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
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
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
Passion is the breath we take, the water we drink to sustain ourselves. Without air and water we perish without passion an artist will wither and blow away.
Jack White
I trust no one who hasn’t time for music.
Jack White
The secret is planning your work and working your plan. If you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you arrive? You can't stumble upon your destination.
Jack White
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
Jack White
Art doesn't sell itself, it has to be sold.
Jack White
Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.
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
Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs
Jack White
Life is simple unless we find a way to make it complicated.
Jack White
I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.
Jack White
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.
Jack White
If you emphasize one part of the song, it trivializes the rest of the music.
Jack White
I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.
Jack White
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
