trying get-back try-again
Failure comes when we don't get back up and try again.
people age want
It's a sound bite. It's very of this age, because that's what people want.
kids years play
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.
birthday beautiful mean
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.
real romantic-love past
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 blow artist
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.
thinking want way
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.
music zeppelins dont-trust
Well, I sort of don't trust anybody who doesn't like Led Zeppelin.
airplane kids men
This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, 'What are you doing this Saturday?' and they'll be playing video games or watching cable, instead of building model cars or airplanes or doing something creative. Kids today never say, 'Man, I'm really into remote-controlled steamboats.'
giving-up passion artist
Many days you will want to give up because of rejections and failures. Passion to be an artist will help you prevail where others fail.
jobs records quitting
Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs
ideas done shakes
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.
party cutting simple
I don't feel very good about myself. People always leave me. Nobody can stand me for very long. I wish I could cut my tongue out, or take out the part of my brain that has opinions. Or cares. I wish I could be simple. Be quiet, introverted, or shy. I'm half way in between a wallflower at a party and Elvis Presley. People love one or the other. In between is no place to be.
