The Bible tries to make humans not animals the whole time. I think it's a bit of a mistake.

More quotes by Neko Case
The relationship of humans to nature. We are sadly divorced from it.
Neko Case
Around 2010, I kind of looked up and said, I'm 40 years old. You know, I chose music. I don't have a husband. I don't have any kids. Like, I chose music. So, I had to make a decision. Like, do I want to do something else, or do I want to go from journeyman to master? And I realized, I want to be a really good musician.
Neko Case
Everyone has to kind of fend for themselves.
Neko Case
All I want to do is sing on other people's records.
Neko Case
I should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.
Neko Case
We shouldn't censor ourselves based on the weak idea of looking cool. It's such a waste of potential awesomeness.
Neko Case
I know that I can sing really loud. It's like having that really big Evinrude engine on the back of your fishing boat. But I've been trying to be more dynamic with my voice and not just singing on ten all of time out of terror.
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
There's not like a science to it, necessarily, but I'm also the kind of person who spends a long time in the studio. I will spend my entire advance just getting it done, which is probably stupid, but I don't have extravagant taste. I mean, I paid for it, so there you go. Why not? The recording process is also very fun.
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
Making music makes me feel vulnerable in the best possible way. It gives me a feeling of balance.
Neko Case
There's just kind of a sweetness about Canadians. Americans are a little more pushy, I mean, in a way that I enjoy - they're basically pushy because of their enthusiasm - we're a lot clumsier than other people.
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 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
We don’t need more ‘What if the mother is going to die’ debated, we need ‘I had an abortion because I was not ready to be a mother. It was my choice and my right. I own it. Back the f@#( up.
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 like to think that I'm not old yet.
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
I have this typical Ukrainian face. Even people who know my music don't recognize me most of the time, thank God.
