Jack is every interviewers dream because he keeps it interesting, His life's story is so fascinating and he’s pretty deep and naturally cool.

Jack reminds me of a close friend I lost a few years back (he was Catholic, I'm Baptist). We would discuss these topics and more, plus get a laugh out of the ridiculousness of people.

I already posted this, but Ill do it twice -- yes at concerts put them down. But Jack says he dislikes them and has never owned one and finds them silly. I call HIPSTER on that. Something only a rich famous connected rockstar could reasonably say. And they are bad. They are tools. I think the "no cellphone" thing is very pompous/misdirected/out of touch. I like a lot of what he said here, I've seen him be harsher, hes pretty cool here; but cellphones are a tool - first i dont think he realizes how much he uses a cellphone indirectly each day, (through managers, assistants, travel agencies, etc). I dont think cellphones are evil in and of themselves, (they are totally annoying at concerts for sure, but being justified in saying "turn off your phone at the show", is a far cry form "don't own one at all they are silly"). And like being a vegetarian (a luxury not everyone on earth/through history can afford), he probably lives a life where he can get by without one, most of us literally cant... He says he doesn't want to be a luddite - but that kinda seems to fit here - I cant help but think this might be tied to the "analog vs. digital guy" he was saying he doesn't define himself as... The guy who only rolls his own cigarettes.... Or only drinks craft beer... I'm curious what he uses for communication then instead? I personally do not use my phone for games, I've never added a dog nose to a photo. I leave it on my desk all day at work barely checking it once. I dont walk and text ever, I dont talk and drive ever. I dont take films at concerts, (thats so annoying! I have taken a photo quick though). I dont talk loudly on it in public. I agree that there are terrible behaviors attached to cell phones. I dont do most of the "terrible/silly" cellphone behaviors. So be clear that not everyone uses the cellphone the same. But the average person is pretty dependent on its functions in a lot of ways a "rich rock star" may not be... For example; he travels a lot. He is a new Dad. Does he not call home? (thats bad). Does he not Facetime/Skype his baby? Why not!? Does he write letters instead? (That's wholly unnecessary). Does he use his wealth to just use hotel long distance? (Most of us can't afford that). Or does he use his manager's cell phone? (Hypocritical). A cell phone is a very functional tool for someone who travels (see below). There are also not payphones anywhere anymore. Or house phones. He has the luxury of being the guy people want to get a hold of so they will go out of their way to get him cellphone or not. *Like Bill Murray being able to not have an agent but set up his own 1800 number because he gets so many offers. But here on "regular people earth" most of us need texting and email to get a hold of people, and many of us have jobs that have to get a hold of us. And we need managers to help us find jobs Bill :) Do you really want to be in a car accident with no cell phone these days!? Or lock yourself out of the house with no cellphone? How about the easy tricks i use all the time - I park my car I take a photo of the parking lot number so I remmeber. I see a book or record I like, I take a photo to remember the title. I use my camera for stuff like that all the time. I use it as a flashlight. I use it as an MP3 player now (Spotify). I lost my TV remote and had to use my phone as my TV remote. Many people dont even have home phones. Ive been places where the only way to place a call then would be to borrow someone else's cellphone, (which i assume he does all the time, and defeats the purpose of his claim of being cellphone independent). Not only for the phone function - but as a calendar - does he carry a weekly planner? Or again does he rely on assistants to tell him where to go? (If so we dont all have that luxury). What about alarm clocks? i use my phone as my alarm clock at home and on the road. Who wakes Jack White up? A rooster (luddite)? Or again does he always have a nice hotel room with an alarm clock, (many bands sleep in the van or fans floors). Or again is the manager calling him to wake him up? (The manager who used a cell phone alarm to wake up, so again hypocritical). How does he tell what flights have been moved or delayed? i used the airline text heavily on a delayed flight last week. Again - he can judge because he probably flies private, or buses private. He doesn't have to keep track of his trips or arrange cars, just has someone else do it, (with a cell phone - if you see the pattern here), to tell him when and where to go. How does he call his Ubers? or do they send him private cars? I nee my call phone for that, just to get to his concert. Cant call an Uber... Or does he drive himself like i do - and need the GPS (I actually have a Garmin GPS in my car, and everyone who rides thinks I'm 100 years old, "why dont you just use Google Maps" is the #1 question I'm asked in the car). Its my photo camera. Its my video camera. Its how most indie bands would check their Twitter, Facebook and Bandcamp on the road to keep in touch with fans and promote their own shows -- he surely has the luxury of assistants doing that for him, (and they probably have laptops) - but again I feel he is probably pretty out of touch on that... IMO I think he was correct to say "as the guy without a cellphone, i dont know if he should judge others". Did you really agree that cellphones are this kind of evil silly thing? -- Again they can be used in terrible ways. but they are just a tool, and probably the most functional tool in the history of man besides perhaps the knife. Would we be better off still walking around with a watch, mp3 player, flashlight, TV remote, digital camera, video camera, planner, quarters, calling cards, travel alarm clocks, a laptop, etc.... thats just a stupid argument. Its all combined in this tool. I assume as a rich rock star surrounded by people/managers/etc - he is perhaps unaware of the need? -- and I'm sure if he hears a song and he wants to know what it is -- i have to whip out my Shazam app and find out myself; he probably just asks someone next to him, (who then uses THEIR Shazam app), so again i bet its pretty hypocritical of him. i could be wrong, he could be totally off the grid, I just doubt it. I think this was a pretty hipster thing to say. Like people "who dont believe in soap" and just stink. And act like I'm weak because i use soap? Like they "figured a truth about life out".

Self-taught=motivation, learning and passion for music. There's no substitute. You can't cut corners. You can hear it in their music. Totally agree with you.

Jack is 100% right about Detroit and the lack of stores--he isn't exaggerating. Still an issue today, but even more so in the 80's and 90's when he was coming up. There was a mass exodus from Detroit to the suburbs (or anywhere else) and the city became a food desert, where you could live in this major city and not have a grocery store anywhere near by. Maybe a corner liquor store, maybe a pawn shop, maybe a few restaurants, often fast food. No movie theater, no grocery store, no music shop, no book store, no clothing outlets. You had to leave the city and go to the suburbs for that stuff. Some of those things exist now, although mostly concentrated around Downtown Detroit. I just wanted to say my 2 cents because I know people think Jack White says those things to "build his reputation" or whatever. He's not making that up, I lived it myself.

Haven't seen a Jack White interview in quite some time but every time I do see one, including this one, I am always equally impressed by his outlook on life in general, his take on society, work ethics (in general) etc as much as I am with his amazing talents as a musician. He never comes across as being one who has "grown out of himself"; in other words, one who has lost touch with reality/real situations/his true self. I think we've had countless examples of just how hard it is for someone who becomes famous to stay grounded, to not forget where they came from, to not fall prey to the "limelight". I kinda think this guy might be one of the rare examples of how to handle fame and adoration the right way. I'm sure his life had changed immensely...for better and for worse. And, as far as wealth goes, who would blame someone for indulging themselves a little more when they have more to indulge with and that they worked hard to earn? But, he always seems to come across as not having lost his head or himself and I think that, in and of itself, is a pretty awesome accomplishment. I could be altogether wrong but if I am then he ought to consider branching out into the acting field because he could have some serious potential in that profession as well. 😉

Jack White is a truth seeker ... as am I. Great job, thanks for this.......! 💖💖💖

Probably meant because the white stripes was first and arguably more famous..not time length

The way he said talk to them in the start sounded like he said torture them

"Jack White on immigration, musical influences, and hating mobile phones." how hard is it to create a title?

Ah, but, are you, sure he doesn't secretly despise his musical influences?

I’m obsessed with this man 😍😍😍

Honest, sincere, genuine, brilliant. Thank you for being you Mr. Gillis. =) The world desperately needs more people like you.

Great interview Krishnan! Jack White is such an intellectually honest and interesting person - great respect shown by both interviewer and subject - thoroughly enjoyed the whole 45 minutes.

I loved the parts about Sinatra and Elvis. This guy is intuitive and about the deepest person that has ever been interviewed. His sublte comments about the Hollywood, do drugs, say youre sorry and then move on with your career, with a whole new set of fans, who are left with even less talent than before.

I laughed when he mentioned backstreet boys and 2 seconds later said 'this is how we do it'.

Put down the phones and realize the world around you instead of it being force fed....steady as she goes...

Love Jack he has ethics and is so smart so eccentric.

Jack white is great inspiration for new generation. Love Third man records creativity.

He's so cool and open in this, I imagine it's very boring to always answer the same questions for the past 20 years.

I'm no grammar expert but I think a semicolon in the title would be good to prevent any misunderstanding.

one of the best interviews i've seen watched in a long time!

He definitely gave him deserved accolades from the get.

He is a sharp guy. I agree with a bunch of what he said here. But the one that really got to me was the point of basic manners being lost in this last generation...they definitely have. My parents taught me to be polite and to think of others, and that seems to have been lost in society for some reason. Sucks. Hopefully it'll come back around. Peace.

Great interview. My music is rock from the sixties and early seventies. Jack is one of the few artists I have liked afterwards. I have not followed news for the same reasons as Jack. Really good to see musicians who want a better world.

i went to the fabulous fox theater in st. louis with a friend back in early 2000 to watch the white stripes on the "get behind me satan" tour. i wasn't a fan and only went because a good friend had tickets and invited me. it was the best show i've ever witnessed to this day and i've been to 100s of concerts. jack nailed it. i was literally appalled the entire show at his talents. i must admit i went to a jack white band concert years later at midland theater in kc and was disappointed. there was an element dialed in on his talents when it was just him and meg. i will always admire his talents and will always listen to his music. keep sharing your skills with us Jack. good interview.

For the most part I agree with Jack about cell phones, but I do like to take a video of a song or two during a concert just so I can re-watch and reinforce the memory of the show (not because I want to tweet about it).

Jack is a true Renaissance man...articulate, interesting, intelligent and talented on so many, many levels.He’s appealing for multiple generations and a philosopher (very rare in this age). Side note...I’m SO on the same page with the loathing of cell phones! YES...on EVERY word about the electoral college! I have been saying this for years!

I love the white stripes, I'm gonna miss that band. Thank God jack white gonna keep making music. He's so great.

Really good interview. Probably the best Jack White interview I’ve seen.

I live under a rock and so was not aware of the existence of this artist. However, it was a very interesting and thought provoking interview. I wish him every success, he was very intriguing to listen to. :)

What a delightful ,and insightful interview. Loved the reference to his family,music,school, upholstery,and the creative inspiration that expanded into other creative areas of jack's life. What a a wonderful and humble human being. PS. Totally agree about all that Jack said about the cell phone !

Jack, I miss you as you where, where are you?

could listen to jack white all night so interesting and makes alot of sense!

I got so much wisdom from this. Aspiring musician here 🙃

This guy is genuinely wise. There is true insight in this interview about many topics, especially art and what drives art inside Jack.

Jack White, a man who can play a guitar solo that sounds like no one else ever has, and who can write and sing songs that are honestly powerful, honest and original can recall the names of people who influenced his furniture-making. I don't usually like listening to musicians talking, but I have to make an exception for this guy.

Qué tipo más comprometido con su arte. Simple, sencillo. Digno de admirar. Su música es una maravilla.
