Life is simple unless we find a way to make it complicated.
If you don’t have a struggle inside or around you, you have to make one up.
Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
Inspiration and work ethic - they ride right next to each other.
Failure comes when we don't get back up and try again.
It's a sound bite. It's very of this age, because that's what people want.
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 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.
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 won't let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me.
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 think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.
Well, I sort of don't trust anybody who doesn't like Led Zeppelin.
