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.

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.

I just really dig feeling subservient to nature. It brings me a peace and calm, kind of like a Faustian thing, I think...

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.

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.

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 like to think that I'm not old yet.
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
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
I should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.

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'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
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
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
Country music is completely punk-rock. It's the original punk-rock.
Neko Case
I don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.
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
Everyone has to kind of fend for themselves.
