No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.
Nick Cave

The way I go about writing records is that I make a calendar date to start the new record, so I have nothing. I don't have a bunch of notes that I bring into the office, I start with nothing at all.
Nick Cave
Image
I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.
Nick Cave
Image
I see it as my duty in some way is to be out in the world as an Australian putting forward what I consider to be authentic Australian music.

As people buy less and less records, it's become more and more important for me to spend more and more on them - to lavish that much more attention on them. The Bad Seeds were always quite protective and old school, but Grinderman has opened us up to do anything and be shameless. We're not so precious about it.

I don't know, maybe Australian humour isn't supposed to be funny. It's as dry as the Sahara, and I think people miss that.

I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.

The artistic process seems to be mythologized quite a lot into something far greater than it actually is. It is just hard labor.

I lost my innocence with Johnny Cash. I used to watch the Johnny Cash Show on television in Wangaratta when I was about 9 or 10 years old. At that stage I had really no idea about rock'n'roll. I watched him and from that point I saw that music could be an evil thing, a beautiful, evil thing.

At the end, we're kind of observers - creative people, I mean. I feel like an observer, and I'm pretty much able to step out of things and see how things are playing out.

Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

I don't particularly believe all love is doomed. But I guess, one is usually kinda suffering from some aborted love affair or association, rather than being at the peak of one. I think it's fairly obvious that a lot more suffering goes on in the name of love than the little happiness you can squeeze out of it.

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.

I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.

Some are exploring the world through the subconscious. I've done that on occasions for various reasons, whether it be illness or self abuse, or whatever. Once things start to look grotesque I don't write them or sing them. I couldn't write them - making nightmares into living daylight...The minute it gets dark I shoot back, retreat.

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

I'm a big fan of teatowels and am always on the lookout for a good one.

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.

Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.

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.
