I know that's blasphemous when you are from Detroit, but I was never a fan of Motown stuff. I don't care for the production much.

I've always felt it's ridiculous to say, of any of the females in my life: You're my friend, you're my wife, you're my girlfriend, you're my co-worker. 'This is your box, and you're not allowed to stray outside of it.'

What you think is fake in your head comes off as not enough on camera, a lot of times. You almost have to overdo it, in this overly, sort of Broadway, large-gestures kind of way to come off as being realistic on camera. It's strange. You almost have to act really fake to come off looking real.

If what you are doing is working, DON'T change just to be different. Just get better.

I'd make a White Stripes record right now. I'd be in the White Stripes for the rest of my life. That band is the most challenging, important, fulfilling thing ever to happen to me. I wish it was still here. It's something I really, really miss.

I would never be able to live in a huge city. I'd feel like one of 100,000 people doing the same thing.

Our art is an adventure. It is a dream come true.
