Jack White Quotes

• We live in an age where everyone wants a heartfelt story from the singer – where ‘I’ means him – and I never saw it that way. It’s as ridiculous as saying Michael Corleone is Francis Ford Coppola. People have become too obsessed with the idea that all songs should be written from the heart. I find that complete strangers have no right to be part of my private life. I would never give that to them.
• Some people remaster their records six, seven times, remix it three, four times, spend a million hours, then they always go back and hear a demo of it and they’ll say, ‘Aw that sounds so much better than the final mix.’
• The Guinness book is a very elitist organization. There’s nothing scientific about what they do. They just have an office full of people who decide what is a record and what isn’t.
• We were like a white family from the 1920s or something. My parents had this bizarre, different way of looking at things from the people that surrounded us. I went to an all-Mexican grade school and an all-black high school, and not many people in those places liked the same stuff as me.
• Well, as a songwriter, it’s really dangerous to use the word love in a song. It’s a word that has been used in songs so many millions of times before, and it’s the most popular topic to ever write about.
• 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.
• I came up from growing up with a lot of Catholic guilt, a lot of punk rock, hipster guilt in the later years where I think people have thrown a lot of things on me. Where I always felt like I’m not supposed to tell the horn section what to play or I don’t want to come off egotistical.
• I have so much music inside me I’m just trying to stay afloat. I don’t tend to write for a particular band – you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do.
• If you want to put out a million CDs and sell them and get them played on the radio, and even videos, or whatever, if that still exists, that kind of muscle can only come from a label like Columbia.
• People aren’t buying records like they used to, so it’s nice to try to figure out a way to make them do it. I would enjoy the same thing to own an old movie house, to try to trick people to come in – like having 3-D or Smell-o-Vision or Vibra-Vision or something. Mcguffins to get people interested.
• My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends’ grandparents.
• My mother’s the youngest of 10 children too, so we have sort of a special bond in that we know what that feels like. It’s a strange spot to be in.
• The fact that we elected Obama was a sign that the black struggle inherent in the blues and so much of the music I have loved can triumph.
• The way I like to start a new project is to take a cover song and make a stab at it, ideally one that has nothing to do with the people in the room.
• I think you can’t really escape any kind of spiritual education as a child, whether it’s New Age or Judaism or Buddhism or whatever it is. You can’t escape it, even if you completely disagree with it, you still have it as a foundation that you base things off of.
• I won’t join another band again.
• I think it takes a lot of trickery to keep up with the media and its perception of you. I don’t know if I have it in me most of the time to care. The music is made first, and the interviews or photos to keep it alive come later as a necessary evil, I suppose.
• I certainly wouldn’t want a song that I’d already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.
• I didn’t really even think of recording under my own name for a long time. I thought, ‘I’ve got the rest of my life to do that.’
• 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.
• I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn’t have bothered me.
• 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.
• I grew up in the 90s in the time of grunge when if you didn’t go on stage in jeans and a T shirt you weren’t ‘real.’ That seemed ridiculous to me.
• There aren’t that many things left that haven’t already been done, especially with music. I’m interested in ideas that can shake us all up.
• An auctioneer is such a uniquely American thing. I keep thinking in my head, perhaps it’s not as American as I think, but it feels so Southern. It feels so American. Like, hundreds of years of American tradition is involved in it.
• I would never purposely sing a song about someone I love, I wouldn’t want to embarrass them. But for someone I don’t like… I would definitely do that.
• 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.
• 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.
• If you have twenty guys in the room and you just bring in one girl, you change the entire mood and everyone plays different.
• I wanted to be able to talk with people who have trade jobs and make records with them. I want to do more records with carpenters, electricians, people who specialize in even more bizarre trades that are off the beaten path.
• When you put something out there into the world, there’s all these words you don’t want to hear, that you hope people don’t say. I don’t like anything that starts with ‘re’ – like retro, reinvent, recreate – I hate that. It’s always like living in the past – copying, emulating.
• 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.
• Nowadays, everybody assumes, when they 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.
• The auctioneer is talking for both people, and that’s the big revelation about, ‘Oh, that’s what they’re doing.’ They’re just doing it very fast, so you could kind of miss on that. He’s speaking for you, because people in the crowd don’t have a voice, so that’s what really makes it compelling.
• I was in a Montessori school. There was a drum circle with all the kids passing around a little bongo drum. I was the last person in the circle, and when it got to me I played ‘Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits’ – in front of all the parents. Blew the crowd away at five years old.
• 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.
• 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.
• We have a secret project at Third Man where we want to have the first vinyl record played in outer space. We want to launch a balloon that carries a vinyl record player.
• With the White Stripes we were trying to trick people into not realizing 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• I want to be part of the resurgence of things that are tangible, beautiful and soulful, rather than just give in to the digital age. But when I talk to people about this they just say, ‘Yeah, I know what you mean,’ and stare at their mobiles.
• I really don’t like to take the easy way out, if I can help it, on anything I do, I like to really make it a challenge. I don’t know how to create by taking the easy routes. I’ve tried, you know, I’ve tried to let myself, but I always struggle to compensate.
• This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, ‘What are you doing this Saturday?’ and they’ll be playing video games or watching cable, instead of building model cars or airplanes or doing something creative. Kids today never say, ‘Man, I’m really into remote-controlled steamboats.’
• Vinyl is the real deal. I’ve always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you don’t really own the album. And it’s not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• [on growing up in Detroit] I think you learn how to walk down the street in a certain way. I think you just learn to have a way about yourself, a style of walking down the street, that keeps people away from you.
• No matter how much I try to write a song about characters and the interactions they’re having, no matter what I do, I can never make it not come from my own experiences. As an artist you’re a victim of your environment. I’d like to make up a scenario, but my writing ends up having a lot to do with with things I’ve felt and observed.
• Younger musicians might look at someone who’s quote-unquote “made it,” and think well, that’s it, they won the lottery now they can do whatever they want, and that means go to the Bahamas and just party all the time. But my opinion has always been if you call yourself an artist, you have a responsibility to that liberty that you’ve given yourself. You don’t have a day job where you work 9 to 5 at a factory because your an artist? Well, okay, well then you better make some art. That doesn’t mean you can sit around all day and do nothing. That’s the way I treat myself, and those are the artists I respect who do that. And it doesn’t have anything to do with being a workaholic or anything like that; it’s about creating all the time, because that’s what you can’t help but do.
• Vinyl is the only thing that’s rising because I think it’s the only thing that the real music lovers are attaching themselves to-because it’s a tangible format that has lasted this long for a reason, because it still sounds the best, it still feels the best. There’s an inherent romance to it. When you see the disc moving around, you feel connected, you got up and put the needle down, you feel connected. Just like in a movie theater when they turn the lights down and the movie comes up you feel reverential toward it. When it’s digital and you can fast-forward and skip it with a mouse and click it off, you’re not reverential toward the music. You’re the one is control and you’re pushing it around. You can imagine if you’re in a movie theater and you could fast forward the movie, it would be a disaster. That’s what vinyl is to music. … All the music lovers know it, all the musicians know it, we’ve all been saying that no one wants it to be invisible and digital. It’s great to have a portable song that you can listen to in your car, that’s great, but when it comes down to it, we want to be reverential toward the art form, and the music business is in a giant mess right now, because of technology. And that’s the only reason. If the technology hadn’t changed we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in. … If you tell someone about a band, if they can’t go on YouTube and listen to the band, they get disinterested and they’ll move onto something else. You used to go travel around. I used to go really far, to another record store like 45 minutes away because they had the record that the other store didn’t . You’d get up out of your seat and do something for real. That’s what this truck is about: it’s about people coming here and experiencing something for real. There’s a novelty aspect to it, but the best part of it is that people are coming here with their physical bodies and they’re talking about music together and what bands they like and what records Third Man is putting out that they’ve got, and we have Third Man playing onstage. There’s nothing going on here in the virtual world, this is all real. That’s the thing about coming to a festival, people really want to experience music.
