Jack White Discusses The Creative Genius Of David Bowie

Jack White discussed the ‘genius’ David Bowie exhibited throughout his career and how influential David Bowie was.

Jack said, “If it starts to feel safe if it starts to feel successful, that’s the scary moment where, if you’re feeling satisfied, where you really need to shake things up; at least I do, and I definitely see artists like Bowie do that as well.”

He continued, “He invented a lot of that for artists who came after him, pushing into different personas and different alter egos, different characters. That bought a lot of art to performance and to stage shows and to records that didn’t exist before.”

Bowie once said, “If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel your feet quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”
