Kate Dickie

I turn into a crying, hysterical maniac when I see a spider. It's pathetic.

I hate going into a room with people in it and the feeling of them staring. I find every moment excruciating.

I would love to study cultures and people.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!

I always tell people that revelling in big ideas for me is kind of like an antidote to existential angst.
