Onstage, I don't feel any glory from people clapping in the audience, but when they're pushing me to do something new that feels good.

I never wanted to play guitar when I was younger. I wanted to be a drummer because everybody plays guitar, and I didn't want to do what everybody else wanted to do.

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.

It's a sound bite. It's very of this age, because that's what people want.

I've always been making up my own restrictions for myself, from day one, and it's compelling, because it forces me to think. That's always been a driving force for me.

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.

Saying you love something out loud with the wrong intonation in your face can damn you and destroy what you're working on.
