More quotes by Jack White
Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.
Jack White
Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.
Jack White
People talk about wanting amenities - downtown is the amenity.
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.
Jack White
There's Catholic guilt about things, then there's the guilt of being the youngest of 10, so when nice things happen to you, you're not really allowed to enjoy them.
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
Vinyl survived, we managed not to kill it. Knowing that you’ve taken part in this fight... You can’t imagine the happiness it brings. Every time I see a kid going out of the store with a vinyl record under the arms, my heart beats faster. Music should only be this. An intense emotion.
Jack White
Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs
Jack White
I think the most important thing is to start with something that fits perfectly. Don't worry about having it in five colors.
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
I gave myself over to music and art a long time ago, so I don't get to relax and I don't get to sit still. The best I can do is constantly create my own environment so it benefits what I need to accomplish in the next step.
Jack White
Life is simple unless we find a way to make it complicated.
Jack White
A riff can take on the aspect of a chorus in a listener's psyche.
Jack White
I keep guitars that are, you know, the neck's a little bit bent and it's a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle.
Jack White
The Bottom Line: If people don't LOVE our work, we will not be able to sell what we make.
Jack White
I'm always surprised when anything about the band connects. But I love the fact that it's hard for people to understand. We've said before that it's always been a great thing to get certain people to go away thinking, 'Oh dear, she can't play the drums!' 'Fine, if you think it's all a gimmick, go away!' It weeds out people who wouldn't care anyway.
Jack White
I trust no one who hasn’t time for music.
Jack White
The most exciting rock 'n' roll band of the last 50 years who are still on the road today
Jack White
I never wanted to play guitar when I was younger. I wanted to be a drummer because everybody plays guitar, and I didn't want to do what everybody else wanted to do.
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.
