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 think if you're a lady playing a guitar, other ladies need to see you playing the guitar, and they don't need to see men come out and fix your equipment for you. It just looks incredibly pussy. So I just do it all myself.
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 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
All I want to do is sing on other people's records.
Neko Case
When you're making records, you develop, and so you hear the things you want to move away from. It stings a little, but you know, you gotta own it too. You've got to just go, You know, I wasn't afraid to learn in front of people, so I give myself a little credit for not being afraid of anything.

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.

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
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
Making music makes me feel vulnerable in the best possible way. It gives me a feeling of balance.
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
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
I like to think that I'm not old yet.
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
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 really dig feeling subservient to nature. It brings me a peace and calm, kind of like a Faustian thing, I think...
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 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.
