Color Quote by Jack White
“Sometimes you just get in there and force yourself to work, and maybe something good will come out, ya know? Deadlines and things make you creative. Opportunity and telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the money in the world, all the colors in the palette, anything you want-that just kills creativity.”

![“I'm excited by the band [White Stripes]. It really excites me. But it wouldn't excite me if there weren't those limitations, if we weren't living in that box, if we weren't trapped. Once that goes away, then I'll know that it's not worth doing it any more.” quote by Jack White](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9d9/jack-white-1911_band_i-m-excited-by-the-band-white-stripes-it_80124.jpg)
