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. Jack White 90sgrowgrunge Change image and share on social
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. Jack White apparentartbuild share on social
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. Jack White coverideallymake Change image and share on social
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. Jack White ideainterestleave Change image and share on social
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. Jack White ballooncarrylaunch Change image and share on social
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.

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. Jack White embarrasslovepurposely Change image and share on social
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. Jack White alivecareevil share on social
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 attitudebattlebend share on social
I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange. Jack White commercialsongstrange Change image and share on social
