Meg White

I met Drew Barrymore in New York and she said she liked the band. That was really cool. I grew up on her.

I've never been much into picking things apart.

I don't want to know about my biggest idols. I don't want to read their autobiographies, I don't want to find out what they're really like.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.
