Jack White

“I’m careful not to do things for the sake of doing them. It has to come from the song. It has to come from a real natural spot. I don’t want to sit around with a cigar and go, ‘You know what we’re gonna have on this record?’ If you sit down and write out on a piece of paper how this whole album is gonna go down and what the concept of it is, it’s probably going to end up pretty lame.”
