About Quote by Jack White
“The auctioneer is talking for both people, and that's the big revelation about, 'Oh, that's what they're doing.' They're just doing it very fast, so you could kind of miss on that. He's speaking for you, because people in the crowd don't have a voice, so that's what really makes it compelling.”

![“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)
