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.

More quotes by Jack White
You need a little resistance-something to fight against.
Jack White
We don't have to live up to the expectations of others. Passion is personal. As long as our passion is fueled with the right stuff then keep on plodding forward. I'll never be Mark Twain or Tom Clancy. But that's okay, because neither of them could teach you to mix a boundless number of grays, or where to place the catch light in a portrait.
Jack White
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
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.
Jack White
That's what happens nowadays with people working on computers. They can so easily fix things with their mouse and take out all the, 'Oh, somebody coughed in the background we need to take that out' - or somebody hit a bad note. Those are all the best moments.
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.

We learn to beat fear by doing.
Jack White
Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.
Jack White
When I say nothing, I say everything
Jack White
Art doesn't sell itself, it has to be sold.
Jack White
What you think is fake in your head comes off as not enough on camera, a lot of times. You almost have to overdo it, in this overly, sort of Broadway, large-gestures kind of way to come off as being realistic on camera. It's strange. You almost have to act really fake to come off looking real.
Jack White
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.
Jack White
I love him (Muse) too much, and you can't hurt someone that you love that much . . . unless you're family.
Jack White
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
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
If you have twenty guys in the room and you just bring in one girl, you change the entire mood and everyone plays different.

The Bottom Line: If people don't LOVE our work, we will not be able to sell what we make.
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
I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.
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.
