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
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
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
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
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.

I really wanted to find a piano for the farm house. There were so many free pianos on Craigslist, I thought, 'Let's get as many free pianos as we can and stick them all in the barn.' I got eight in a short period of time, only six of which were tunable, but it's still quite funny.
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.
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 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 don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.
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
You can't just play the same thing, over and over again.
Neko Case
I like to think that I'm not old yet.
Neko Case
When you get an idea, it's not going to be a great idea until you push it. You’ve got to push it until it’s uncomfortable. And then you’ve got to ask yourself, ‘Does my project say to my audience what I want it to say?’ ”

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.
Neko Case
I should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.
Neko Case
The relationship of humans to nature. We are sadly divorced from it.
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
The most tender place in my heart is for strangers. I know it's unkind, but my own blood is much too dangerous.
Neko Case
I just want to make stories. They don't have to have a moral or a reason. There might be some mild cautionary notes, but they're not moral. They don't impart any Judeo-Christian ethic of any kind.
