Nellie McKay People Quotations

I really don't care what people say. It's amazing that feminism continues to exist at all, considering how much counter-feminism is out there.

I'm glad if people can listen to some music and maybe fix some prejudices of their own, just by thinking.

I never know how to get off the phone, so I'm terribly admiring of people who can.

I tried to be just a singer of standards when I was starting out. And there was nothing special enough about my voice to make it that far. So I feel a bit like Rod Stewart. Once you've had that rock career, people will give you that chance where otherwise they might not.

It's always so nerve-wracking being up there on stage. It's even harder playing in your hometown - and I have a couple of home towns - but, you're playing for all the people you knew in high school, so it causes no small degree of panic in my mind.
