We've had experience of involvement in a local scene, and it was a good one, and we've learned a lot from it, and I don't have any need to join into that ever again. It's too counterproductive to writing music and performing to the best of your abilities. It's okay when you're 20 years old - you're getting out there and you're learning - but not when you're 30 years old.

The big picture is a nice way to think of things if you have the freedom to.

The only person who is hurt by jealousy is you... Eliminate that word from your life... it may not make you unsuccessful selling your art, but it will destroy your happiness.
Jack White The White Stripes -
I can't imagine being anything creative in a major town because everybody's doing the same exact thing you're doing. How can you not get confused about what you yourself are doing?
Jack White The White Stripes -
I love the way art moves people emotionally. I love the fact that when someone purchases art it is the one thing that will last for generations.

Life is simple unless we find a way to make it complicated.

A songwriter's heart is pure when they have the desire to keep digging deeper into music. And invariably, when you dig deeper it always leads you into the past.

Failure comes when we don't get back up and try again.

Punk is an attitude, not a genre, age group, or time period. What's interesting is trying to define the blues and punk in different ways. They are very close cousins.

Mastery is the rudder, Mystery is the sail and Magic the wind to move you in your chosen direction.

It's easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master.

I have so many projects to work on I'm going to have to live to at least 120 to get some of them done.
Jack White The White Stripes -
Passion is the breath we take, the water we drink to sustain ourselves. Without air and water we perish; without passion an artist will wither and blow away.

I cannot judge what motivates people. We are all moved by one of four things or a combination of these four things: money, romance, recognition or survival.

Nashville has always felt perfect. I don't think Third Man Records could exist in any other town that I know of in America. Anything smaller or larger than the size of Nashville, and also the music - the attention that's paid to music in that town is sort of the right kind. It's not too hipster and it's not too fake; it's something in the middle, which is really good ground for a place like Third Man Records, that aims to be genre-less. It's great to be able to have that kind of access.
Jack White The White Stripes -
Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.
