In all my songs, I take on roles and play characters. It's a unique way to explore ideas and decisions I might not think or make in real life.

More quotes by 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
When I say nothing, I say everything
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's hard to find other musicians that push you to go somewhere new all the time.
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
I love him (Muse) too much, and you can't hurt someone that you love that much . . . unless you're family.
Jack White
I dabbled in things like Howlin' Wolf, Cream and Led Zeppelin, but when I heard Son House and Robert Johnson, it blew my mind. It was something I'd been missing my whole life. That music made me discard everything else and just get down to the soul and honesty of the blues.
Jack White
Many days you will want to give up because of rejections and failures. Passion to be an artist will help you prevail where others fail.
Jack White
I probably could have a hip-hop-style entourage of 40 people coming with me to the club or whatever, and I don't do that. And I think sometimes maybe I should. It just makes things easier - if you don't like being by yourself, maybe just don't do it ever.
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'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 think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.
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
If you emphasize one part of the song, it trivializes the rest of the music.
Jack White
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
Jack White
I made a rule for myself in my early 20s not to become a record collector in the sense that I reference all my old records. I can't live like that. I'd just be trapped in comparison, trying to emulate something, so I made a rule to just buy what I need, just the records I need.
Jack White
If you're asking if I would be foolish enough, or insulting enough, to write about people in my life that I respect and sell it to the masses as a break-up song, I can't imagine doing that to people I love.
Jack White
Happiness is more important than money any day.
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
Collectors are paying for our education by purchasing our art.
