More quotes by 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
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
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.
Jack White
Punk is an attitude, not a genre, age group, or time period. What's interesting is trying to define the blues and punk in different ways. They are very close cousins.
Jack White
Mastery is the rudder, Mystery is the sail and Magic the wind to move you in your chosen direction.
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 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
A riff can take on the aspect of a chorus in a listener's psyche.
Jack White
I'd make a White Stripes record right now. I'd be in the White Stripes for the rest of my life. That band is the most challenging, important, fulfilling thing ever to happen to me. I wish it was still here. It's something I really, really miss.
Jack White
Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.
Jack White
The most exciting rock 'n' roll band of the last 50 years who are still on the road today
Jack White
Technology is a big destroyer of emotion and truth. Auto-tuning doesn’t do anything for creativity. Yeah, it makes it easier and you can get home sooner but it doesn’t make you a more creative person. That’s the disease we have to fight in any creative field: ease of use.
Jack White
It's funny because when you do become successful, you're forced to look backwards and try to crawl back into the womb where you first started to create.
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
The Bottom Line: If people don't LOVE our work, we will not be able to sell what we make.
Jack White
Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.
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
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
I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.
Jack White
I trust no one who hasn’t time for music.
