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.

More quotes by 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 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
The relationship of humans to nature. We are sadly divorced from it.
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 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 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
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 like to think that I'm not old yet.
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
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
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.
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 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
I just want to make stories. They don't have to have a moral or a reason. There might be some mild cautionary notes, but they're not moral. They don't impart any Judeo-Christian ethic of any kind.
Neko Case
Everybody in my band is married, pretty much, and have lives at home, and I don't want them to be away from their families so long that they just start to feel psychotic. You have to go home and stand around in your bathrobe doing your dishes to feel like a normal person sometimes.
Neko Case
Making music makes me feel vulnerable in the best possible way. It gives me a feeling of balance.
Neko Case
I don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.
Neko Case
You're not supposed to totally know what's happening. The songs are supposed to give you clues so you can fill in the blanks.
Neko Case
I think I have a lot of empathy for animals and nature in general. Those things just make me comfortable. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, around a lot of animals. I feel for them.
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.
