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 Read Quote
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. Jack White Read Quote
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. Jack White Read Quote
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. Jack White Read Quote
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. Jack White Read Quote
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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
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. Jack White Read Quote
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.’ Jack White Read Quote
