More quotes by Neko Case
I just really dig feeling subservient to nature. It brings me a peace and calm, kind of like a Faustian thing, I think...
Neko Case
Making music makes me feel vulnerable in the best possible way. It gives me a feeling of balance.
Neko Case
I have this typical Ukrainian face. Even people who know my music don't recognize me most of the time, thank God.

A live show is one of the last holdouts of a thing that makes you feel a part of a community, where you'll go and maybe meet your future wife or boyfriend, or you're taking your sister to her first show. These are the things that you remember later in your life.
Neko Case
You're not supposed to totally know what's happening. The songs are supposed to give you clues so you can fill in the blanks.
Neko Case
The Bible tries to make humans not animals the whole time. I think it's a bit of a mistake.
Neko Case
I don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.
Neko Case
I would be a huge hypocrite if I didn't tell you that at one time in my life I thought the way that you made music was you got on a major label and you got famous.
Neko Case
I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe.
Neko Case
I always end up working with people that do a really good job, so I'm the only one that I'm worried about disappointing me, not the musicians ever.
Neko Case
We shouldn't censor ourselves based on the weak idea of looking cool. It's such a waste of potential awesomeness.

If I could ever be on a Missy Elliott record, I could then die. Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige - I love hearing them interviewed, I love the way they talk about their art. They're very self-assured, they're funny, they're inviting. I love it.

I don't know anybody who doesn't hate being called alt.country. It just sounds like a website. I don't mind being called Americana, I don't mind being called country noir, or independent country is fine, but the words alt.country make me insane.
Neko Case
I think I've kind of been mistaken for somebody who's trying to be a spokesperson for animal rights, and the fact is I'm not qualified to be a spokesperson. I am passionate about it, but I'm not trying to make other people do what I do.
Neko Case
Everyone has to kind of fend for themselves.
Neko Case
Being the boss of your own career, you get used to having veto power and getting what you want, or as close to what you want as you have mapped out.
Neko Case
I have a real dog-like mentality, in that it's like, 'Where is my next meal coming from? Am I ever gonna eat again? Will I ever write another song again? Will anyone show up for tour?' I think it comes from being really poor as a kid.
Neko Case
The relationship of humans to nature. We are sadly divorced from it.
Neko Case
Everybody in my band is married, pretty much, and have lives at home, and I don't want them to be away from their families so long that they just start to feel psychotic. You have to go home and stand around in your bathrobe doing your dishes to feel like a normal person sometimes.
Neko Case
I think I have a lot of empathy for animals and nature in general. Those things just make me comfortable. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, around a lot of animals. I feel for them.
