Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.

Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed, but all the past still yet to come.

Rock music is the province of the young, and it should be made by young people. I'm not running around in a pair of spandex tights trying to reclaim my youth.
Nick Cave
Image
I think I have always had a pretty strong creative impulse. And that has probably saved me from abandoning myself completely.
Nick Cave

I've always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.

I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.

You're collaborating with people you don't even know, when you're making a film. You're collaborating with people you've never seen. So, the collaborative process is very, very different than when you're collaborating on a record with the musicians you've worked with all your life.

I have to be able to see the thing that's going on that I'm writing about, or else it just doesn't make any sense to me.

I am the captain of my pain.

There's that kind of song, Whoah baby, I love you, which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.

The way I take in the world is by seeing it that is very much evident in the songs that I write.

I've spent my life butting my head against other people's lack of imagination.
Nick Cave
Image
When I start to write a song, I initially fall into patterns and creative habits that are familiar, and because they're familiar, they sound convincing. It's important for me to not pursue those ideas, because I've already done them, but to find ideas that are different and feel strange to write and disconcerting to write.

I’ve never intended to make religious records or records that preach some kind of point of view... If you’re involved with imagination and the creative process, it’s not such a difficult thing to believe in a god. But I’m not involved in any religions.

There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.

When I start writing songs, and they come easily, I'm always very suspicious. That usually means they're reminding me of something I've already done before. When the songs become unsettling, and I feel anxious about what I'm doing, that usually means it's going to be more interesting later on when we actually record the stuff.

Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?
Nick Cave

I don't like those songs where you have to listen to a story to get into them. I don't want to have to pay attention to music in that way, I just want it to hit me in the heart and do what music's supposed to do.

If you're Australian, you feel it in your bones because you're at odds with everybody else, except other Australians, in the sense that people always seem to be behaving strangely. People always seem to be behaving the wrong way, in a different way. You say things and there are silences.
