I just think old old movies, they make you concentrate and pay attention so much more. They feel so warm. A lot of modern digital videotape, its just too bright. Dont know why, its not warm. – Jack White
I keep guitars that are, you know, the necks a little bit bent and its a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle. – Jack White
When you put something out there into the world, theres all these words you dont want to hear, that you hope people dont say. I dont like anything that starts with re – like retro, reinvent, recreate – I hate that. Its always like living in the past – copying, emulating. – Jack White
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. – Jack White
