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.

More quotes by Jack White
For new bands, I think a major label is the safest place to be. Independent labels are the ones getting away with murder. A lot of them are hobbyists who rip-off young bands, taking advantage of people who would never get signed to a major.
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
Happiness is more important than money any day.
Jack White
Nowadays, everybody assumes, when the wake up in the morning, if they have a question, it will get answered. Because they have the internet. No matter what the question is, someone will answer their question.

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.

I just think old old movies, they make you concentrate and pay attention so much more. They feel so warm. A lot of modern digital videotape, it's just too bright. Don't know why, it's not warm.
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 have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.
Jack White
I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn't have bothered me.
Jack White
It's hard to find other musicians that push you to go somewhere new all the time.
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.

We learn to beat fear by doing.

Your passion must be tempered with patience. Maybe long-suffering patience would be a better word.
Jack White
A riff can take on the aspect of a chorus in a listener's psyche.
Jack White
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.

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
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
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.
