“Sometimes, I don't like making emotions your career; something about i...” — Nathaniel Rateliff Quote

“Sometimes, I don't like making emotions your career; something about it is kind of gross. But, at the same time, I want to move people the same way the songs make me feel.”

“Growing up in the middle of nowhere, there was a lot of twangy music around, but it didn't really connect with me then.”

“I'm pretty easily overwhelmed and pretty tough as well. I think I'm tougher than I used to be. There's been a lot of hardship along the way. But that's what life is. And it's how you deal with those things, and how you let them shape you that makes you a better person and defines what sort of person you're going to be.”

“At the end of the day you have to keep emotions away.”

“I leave my emotions at home.”

“I can feel things - tap into emotions. When I meet a new person, I know their life straight away. I suppose you could call it a special intuition, but it's my number one quality, and I'm always 99.9 percent right. If I don't like someone, it always turns out to be for a good reason.”
