The Black Keys is just a band that wants to get on stage and rock it.

Dude, everybody wants to be Andre 3000. He's got abs for days. How does that guy get so ripped?

Hip hop is the new rock n' roll, you know what I mean? And anybody who doesn't think that is just sort of living in the past. It's all just American music, really, when you get right down to it.

People will say, 'Just one picture please.' That is how it starts. There is just one picture and then somebody else wants another. And when I say 'No' I feel guilty.

Well, when The Black Keys make a record, I never really feel limited. To me, it seems the possibilities are always endless. The big difference has been playing live and being able to recreate every little part of the record.

Everybody always wants to rebel against their parents' music, but nobody listened to music louder than my dad.
