The Nerve Interview: Meg & Jack White - Nerve

fifteen-minute interview with Jack and Meg White might not seem like the pop-cultural equivalent of the SALT II talks. Until you’re solemnly instructed to ask no personal questions. Then sent email and voicemail reminding you to ask no personal questions. Then given an in-person “friendly reminder” outside the interview room that if the delicate personal sphere were compromised in any way, Jack and Meg would get up and leave the table.
Which is actually fine. Lately, what’s interesting about the Whites isn’t their marital status, court records or it’s the quick and recent expansion of their talents. In the last year, they released the album Elephant, which topped a number of critics’ year-end lists, while Jack co-starred in Cold Mountain alongside Nicole Kidman and produced an excellent album for Loretta Lynn.
Now the couple has collaborated with indie god Jim Jarmusch on Coffee & Cigarettes, a collection of short films that allows various indie favorites (Bill Murray, RZA, Cate Blanchett) to play slightly cracked versions of themselves. In the Whites’ segment, Jack is a mad genius fixated on an instrument (in this case, a Tesla electrical generator); Meg, a fetchingly coy sounding board with more on her mind than she lets on. They, and the film, are really good.
In person, they were kind, funny and forthcoming. While their polyester-panted security detail watched from the corner, we talked about acting ambitions, Orson Welles and exploding elephants. & Michael Martin
Musicians can make terrible actors. Were you worried this might become your Glitter?
[General laughter]
Meg: Well, the advantage was that we were playing ourselves, so if you can’t do that properly —
Jack: There is less contempt for musicians to act then there are for actors
who want to make a record. Even if they’ve had that in them before they started
acting, there’s so much contempt for that. I always feel sorry for them.
I think people believe music comes from some really natural expression and
acting is fabricated, that that’s the purpose of acting: you’re pretending.
Music is not pretending, so it’s almost like someone who pretends is trying
not to pretend and be real or something
Meg: Also because there’s an element of acting in music, and there isn’t an element of music in acting. People always try to separate the two.
What’s your performance technique: Meisner or Stanislavski?
Jack: &Be yourself.& It wasn’t that hard.
Meg: [laughs] Yeah, it was really unlike what we would normally do.
Jack: [pregnant laughter] You’re right about that.
How did you get involved with the project?
Meg: We met Jim, we started talking with him, and he asked us if we wanted to do one of these little shorts of his.
Jack: He was actually wearing little shorts at the time.
Is that what swayed you?
Jack: Oh, it swayed me all right. It swayed me.
Jack, are you surprised by the interest in you as an actor?
Jack: Yeah, I suppose so. Anthony Minghella, the director of Cold Mountain, said that any performer who performs in any way on stage is in some way an actor, and it’s easy to translate, because if you have the desire or creativity to perform, maybe you’re not a good actor, but you’re doing some sort of acting in some sense, because you’re presenting something to people. Which in a way is unnatural, especially with all the electricity involved. It’s different than sitting on your front porch playing acoustic guitar or something. Which could be, whatever. Quote endquote natural. That would be unnatural to be on stage in front of people and having lights shot out of you and giant amplifiers. And he’s right, there is acting involved in that. So it’s probably not too much of a stretch sometimes.
Meg: [drags on cigarette]
Especially with the personas and lore you’ve created for yourselves.
What’s the bigger construction: the Meg and Jack characters in this film,
or the Meg and Jack characters onstage?
Jack: I don&t know. I suppose they’re both interesting.
Meg: Both are different aspects of our personalities.
Jack: The film was a different take on it for sure, because we sat down and
said, “This is the script, this is what we’re going to do, how do you say
these words as good as possible?” You know, as we walk out to go on stage
we’re not contriving things, like ‘We’re going to do this and this and this.” We
n we just do it in the moment. We just do the first
thing that comes into our heads.
And were your roles parallel to those in real life: Jack the manic believer, Meg the voice of reason?
Jack: Difficult to tell sometimes. I think our characters were a funny take on any two people & the way that she’s listening to me go on and on when she really knows about it anyway, she’s just listening to me talk. I think anyone could relate to that.
Meg: [smiles]
Are you fans of Tesla?
Jack: I am a huge fan. That’s what motivated Jim
he had this Tesla book on his desk and we wanted him to direct this video for us for our next album where I played Tesla and I battled Thomas Edison with our inventions. In real life, Edison electrocuted an elephant through Tesla’s alternating current theory. That was going to be part of the video, but it got too expensive, renting an elephant and everything.
Meg: [laughter]
If you could pick alter egos from cinema history, who would they be?
Jack: Probably Orson Welles. I think he was really in touch with beauty and
he knew how to get points across really well. I think that he was like a
lot of guitar players who were drummers first and are better guitar players
because of it. Because
Welles started out in radio, I think that made him a better filmmaker. I
heard him say one time, you should know the relationships of the people in
with the sound turned off. Without any dialogue or any music, you should
feel the difference between people or whatever it is. And it’s really important,
and coming from that standpoint, it just makes everything even better.
Meg: [contemplates] I have no idea.
Besides Cold Mountain, what’s on your acting CV?
Jack: I was in a film when I was ten years old. They filmed a movie in Detroit called The Rosary Murders with Donald Sutherland. I was an altar boy. Donald was actually in Cold Mountain, and I came up to him and said, “Hey, this is our second film together.”
If you could pick another director to work with, who would it be?
Meg: John Waters!
Jack: Yeah, Meg should be in a John W that would be pretty perfect.
Meg: I’m really good at teasing my hair.
Jack: That’s half the battle.
Jack, you make a convincing science geek.
Jack: I really, really love science. I read a lot about it. It’s one of those
subjects I would actually like to go back and take classes about, because
it’s one of the few things in high school I liked. What’s interesting is
has become the new drugstore. There was this article that said that chemistry
sets in the 1800s contained elements that could blow your house up. It’s
amazing that boys grew up to become scientists without killing themselves.
And now you can’t get a lot of elements, especially after 9/11. You can’t
buy aluminum shavings at the drugstore, but people are selling them online.
The internet is the new chemistry set.
Meg: [musingly] The chemistry teacher in high school probably had to rework his whole plan after 9/11. They used to blow everything up in that class.
Was it a nerve-wracking shoot?
Jack: I think anything with Jim is probably pretty easy. He’s good at the
funniest things too. I remember he said, we need a lot of shooting like this,
then we can move this over here and move that over there, and Jim said, “Well, I don’t know how to do that.” And he wasn’t joking. It was so nice to hear someone say “I don&t know how to do that” out loud.
What kind of direction would he give you?
Meg: Nothing, really.
Jack: He really likes space. He kept telling us to slow down and give things space. Oh, and he told me to shut up a lot and let Meg talk.
Meg: [pause] Yeah, that was part of it. &n& 上传我的文档

20岁，不可挥霍的光阴。在这个点击过百万的TED演讲中，心理咨询师Meg
Jay说不能因为婚姻、工作和子女是以后的事情，现在就可以无规划的生活。她提供三条建议帮助20多岁的年轻人重新审视自己的生活，不要做后悔的决定。
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
为什么要听她演讲
近期观点认为，25岁似乎太过年轻，无法做重大决定。临床心理学家Meg
Jay藉由心理学实务和著作《20世代，你的人生是不是卡住了》阐述，许多二十世代深陷《时代》杂志所谓「我我我世代」的迷思和误导中。她认为「三十世代是新二十世代」的说法使人们轻忽成年阶段最具可塑性的时光。
撷取十余年来与数百名二十世代个案及学生咨商的经验，Jay将科学融入一段段引人入胜、不为人知的故事中。精彩、生动的故事发展，显示为何二十世代并非发展停滞期，而是仅此一次的发展高峰。二十世代是个关键期，我们所做之事－及未做之事－对未来人生、甚至后代都将产生巨大影响。&&
When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first
psychotherapy client. I was a Ph.D. student in clinical psychology
at Berkeley. She was a 26-year-old woman named Alex. Now Alex
walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top,
and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her
flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems. Now
when I heard this, I was so relieved. My classmate got an arsonist
for her first client. (Laughter) And I got a twentysomething who
wanted to talk about boys. This I thought I could handle.
But I didn't handle it. With the funny stories that Alex would
bring to session, it was easy for me just to nod my head while we
kicked the can down the road. "Thirty's the new 20," Alex would
say, and as far as I could tell, she was right. Work happened
later, marriage happened later, kids happened later, even death
happened later. Twentysomethings like Alex and I had nothing but
But before long, my supervisor pushed me to push Alex about her
love life. I pushed back.
I said, "Sure, she's dating down, she's sleeping with a
knucklehead, but it's not like she's going to marry the guy."
And then my supervisor said, "Not yet, but she might marry the next
one. Besides, the best time to work on Alex's marriage is before
she has one."
That's what psychologists call an "Aha!" moment. That was the
moment I realized, 30 is not the new 20. Yes, people settle down
later than they used to, but that didn't make Alex's 20s a
developmental downtime. That made Alex's 20s a developmental sweet
spot, and we were sitting there blowing it. That was when I
realized that this sort of benign neglect was a real problem, and
it had real consequences, not just for Alex and her love life but
for the careers and the families and the futures of
twentysomethings everywhere.
There are 50 million twentysomethings in the United States right
now. We're talking about 15 percent of the population, or 100
percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood
without going through their 20s first.
Raise your hand if you're in your 20s. I really want to see some
twentysomethings here. Oh, yay! Y'all's awesome. If you work with
twentysomethings, you love a twentysomething, you're losing sleep
over twentysomethings, I want to see — Okay. Awesome,
twentysomethings really matter.
So I specialize in twentysomethings because I believe that every
single one of those 50 million twentysomethings deserves to know
what psychologists, sociologists, neurologists and fertility
specialists already know: that claiming your 20s is one of the
simplest, yet most transformative, things you can do for work, for
love, for your happiness, maybe even for the world.
This is not my opinion. These are the facts. We know that 80
percent of life's most defining moments take place by age 35. That
means that eight out of 10 of the decisions and experiences and
"Aha!" moments that make your life what it is will have happened by
your mid-30s. People who are over 40, don't panic. This crowd is
going to be fine, I think. We know that the first 10 years of a
career has an exponential impact on how much money you're going to
earn. We know that more than half of Americans are married or are
living with or dating their future partner by 30. We know that the
brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it
rewires itself for adulthood, which means that whatever it is you
want to change about yourself, now is the time to change it. We
know that personality changes more during your 20s than at any
other time in life, and we know that female fertility peaks at age
28, and things get tricky after age 35. So your 20s are the time to
educate yourself about your body and your options.
So when we think about child development, we all know that the
first five years are a critical period for language and attachment
in the brain. It's a time when your ordinary, day-to-day life has
an inordinate impact on who you will become. But what we hear less
about is that there's such a thing as adult development, and our
20s are that critical period of adult development.
But this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing. Newspapers talk
about the changing timetable of adulthood. Researchers call the 20s
an extended adolescence. Journalists coin silly nicknames for
twentysomethings like "twixters" and "kidults." It's true. As a
culture, we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade
of adulthood.
Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things, you need a
plan and not quite enough time. Isn't that true? So what do you
think happens when you pat a twentysomething on the head and you
say, "You have 10 extra years to start your life"? Nothing happens.
You have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition, and
absolutely nothing happens.
And then every day, smart, interesting twentysomethings like you or
like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things
like this: "I know my boyfriend's no good for me, but this
relationship doesn't count. I'm just killing time." Or they say,
"Everybody says as long as I get started on a career by the time
I'm 30, I'll be fine."
But then it starts to sound like this: "My 20s are almost over, and
I have nothing to show for myself. I had a better r&sum& the day
after I graduated from college."
And then it starts to sound like this: "Dating in my 20s was like
musical chairs. Everybody was running around and having fun, but
then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and
everybody started sitting down. I didn't want to be the only one
left standing up, so sometimes I think I married my husband because
he was the closest chair to me at 30."
Where are the twentysomethings here? Do not do that.
Okay, now that sounds a little flip, but make no mistake, the
stakes are very high. When a lot has been pushed to your 30s, there
is enormous thirtysomething pressure to jump-start a career, pick a
city, partner up, and have two or three kids in a much shorter
period of time. Many of these things are incompatible, and as
research is just starting to show, simply harder and more stressful
to do all at once in our 30s.
The post-millennial midlife crisis isn't buying a red sports car.
It's realizing you can't have that career you now want. It's
realizing you can't have that child you now want, or you can't give
your child a sibling. Too many thirtysomethings and fortysomethings
look at themselves, and at me, sitting across the room, and say
about their 20s, "What was I doing? What was I thinking?"
I want to change what twentysomethings are doing and
Here's a story about how that can go. It's a story about a woman
named Emma. At 25, Emma came to my office because she was, in her
words, having an identity crisis. She said she thought she might
like to work in art or entertainment, but she hadn't decided yet,
so she'd spent the last few years waiting tables instead. Because
it was cheaper, she lived with a boyfriend who displayed his temper
more than his ambition. And as hard as her 20s were, her early life
had been even harder. She often cried in our sessions, but then
would collect herself by saying, "You can't pick your family, but
you can pick your friends."
Well one day, Emma comes in and she hangs her head in her lap, and
she sobbed for most of the hour. She'd just bought a new address
book, and she'd spent the morning filling in her many contacts, but
then she'd been left staring at that empty blank that comes after
the words "In case of emergency, please call ... ." She was nearly
hysterical when she looked at me and said, "Who's going to be there
for me if I get in a car wreck? Who's going to take care of me if I
have cancer?"
Now in that moment, it took everything I had not to say, "I will."
But what Emma needed wasn't some therapist who really, really
cared. Emma needed a better life, and I knew this was her chance. I
had learned too much since I first worked with Alex to just sit
there while Emma's defining decade went parading by.
So over the next weeks and months, I told Emma three things that
every twentysomething, male or female, deserves to hear.
First, I told Emma to forget about having an identity crisis and
get some identity capital. By get identity capital, I mean do
something that adds value to who you are. Do something that's an
investment in who you might want to be next. I didn't know the
future of Emma's career, and no one knows the future of work, but I
do know this: Identity capital begets identity capital. So now is
the time for that cross-country job, that internship, that startup
you want to try. I'm not discounting twentysomething exploration
here, but I am discounting exploration that's not supposed to
count, which, by the way, is not exploration. That's
procrastination. I told Emma to explore work and make it
Second, I told Emma that the urban tribe is overrated. Best friends
are great for giving rides to the airport, but twentysomethings who
huddle together with like-minded peers limit who they know, what
they know, how they think, how they speak, and where they work.
That new piece of capital, that new person to date almost always
comes from outside the inner circle. New things come from what are
called our weak ties, our friends of friends of friends. So yes,
half of twentysomethings are un- or under-employed. But half
aren't, and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group.
Half of new jobs are never posted, so reaching out to your
neighbor's boss is how you get that un-posted job. It's not
cheating. It's the science of how information spreads.
Last but not least, Emma believed that you can't pick your family,
but you can pick your friends. Now this was true for her growing
up, but as a twentysomething, soon Emma would pick her family when
she partnered with someone and created a family of her own. I told
Emma the time to start picking your family is now. Now you may be
thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20,
or even 25, and I agree with you. But grabbing whoever you're
living with or sleeping with when everyone on Facebook starts
walking down the aisle is not progress. The best time to work on
your marriage is before you have one, and that means being as
intentional with love as you are with work. Picking your family is
about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just
making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing
So what happened to Emma? Well, we went through that address book,
and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum
in another state. That weak tie helped her get a job there. That
job offer gave her the reason to leave that live-in boyfriend. Now,
five years later, she's a special events planner for museums. She's
married to a man she mindfully chose. She loves her new career, she
loves her new family, and she sent me a card that said, "Now the
emergency contact blanks don't seem big enough."
Now Emma's story made that sound easy, but that's what I love about
working with twentysomethings. They are so easy to help.
Twentysomethings are like airplanes just leaving LAX, bound for
somewhere west. Right after takeoff, a slight change in course is
the difference between landing in Alaska or Fiji. Likewise, at 21
or 25 or even 29, one good conversation, one good break, one good
TED Talk, can have an enormous effect across years and even
generations to come.
So here's an idea worth spreading to every twentysomething you
know. It's as simple as what I learned to say to Alex. It's what I
now have the privilege of saying to twentysomethings like Emma
every single day: Thirty is not the new 20, so claim your
adulthood, get some identity capital, use your weak ties, pick your
family. Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do.
You're deciding your life right now. Thank you. (Applause)
