More quotes by Nick Cave
I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.
Nick Cave
That's what we [outsiders] feel America is really about - the kind of crazed ravings of the Christian right - when it's probably something quite different.
Nick Cave
I think I have always had a pretty strong creative impulse. And that has probably saved me from abandoning myself completely.
Nick Cave
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
My music has to do with beauty, and it's intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.
Nick Cave
In getting older, I find myself becoming progressively more ineffectual in a lot of different ways, and part of that is down to no longer having the youthful feeling that what you're doing has any true impact.
Nick Cave
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point.
Nick Cave
I've always worn suits. To me they're a very practical kind of thing to wear. You put one on and don't really have to think about what you're going to wear.
Nick Cave
I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.
Nick Cave
No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.
Nick Cave
I don't think Hollywood makes many good films anymore. How many directors can you really trust to have an artistic vision, not a corporate vision or a watered-down communal one?
Nick Cave
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
Nick Cave
Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.
Nick Cave
L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.
Nick Cave
I don't believe in an interventionist God
Nick Cave
Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
Nick Cave
Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
Nick Cave
I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.
Nick Cave
