More quotes by Neko Case
When you live in a lot of places, you can't help but have them become part of you. Technically, I am a Southerner, but I did not grow up in the South. So I'm a Southerner by accident, but a Washingtonian.
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 should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.
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
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 tried to have more than one emotion on the record.
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
Country music is completely punk-rock. It's the original punk-rock.
Neko Case
I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe.
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.

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 just really dig feeling subservient to nature. It brings me a peace and calm, kind of like a Faustian thing, I think...
Neko Case
The Bible tries to make humans not animals the whole time. I think it's a bit of a mistake.
Neko Case
The relationship of humans to nature. We are sadly divorced from it.
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.
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 this typical Ukrainian face. Even people who know my music don't recognize me most of the time, thank God.
Neko Case
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
I don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.
