![“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)
