More quotes by Jack White
Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs
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
Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.
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
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
When I say nothing, I say everything
Jack White
I've always felt it's ridiculous to say, of any of the females in my life: You're my friend, you're my wife, you're my girlfriend, you're my co-worker. 'This is your box, and you're not allowed to stray outside of it.'
Jack White
Captain Lone Wolf Gonzaullas was one of a kind. I'm sure he would agree to this truth, If you continuously compete with others, you will become bitter. If you constantly compete with yourself, you can become great.
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
I know that's blasphemous when you are from Detroit, but I was never a fan of Motown stuff. I don't care for the production much.
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
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
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
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
There have been three times. Once I got in a car accident and shattered my finger. A few years ago I didn't feel like being alive. That's all I can say.
Jack White
Great work comes from great joy. Leave the angst for the movies do art - that is fun.
Jack White
We learn to beat fear by doing.
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
People talk about wanting amenities - downtown is the amenity.
Jack White
I consider music to be storytelling, melody and rhythm. A lot of hip-hop has broken music down. There are no instruments and no songwriting. So you're left with just storytelling and rhythm. And the storytelling can be so braggadocious, you're just left with rhythm.
