My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.
Nick Cave
Image
I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
Nick Cave

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.

People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave

You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.

The work ethic at art school is completely different than the work ethic amongst people who get into music. People who paint, it's an honorable thing to spend all day and all night in front of your canvas - that is the romantic vision of the painter.
Nick Cave
Image
I feel very much a part of what I'm writing about, and I'm writing about things that concern me on a daily basis. I'm not really interested in writing musical diaries, if you know what I mean.

Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.

Guns are part of the American psyche, aren't they? This is collateral damage for having a Wild West mentality. It's intrinsic to the American psyche. It's never going to change.

The problem with books, now that I've written one, is that the idea of adaptation is so much easier than sitting down to write something new.

Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.
Nick Cave
Image
I've watched 'Oprah Winfrey.' And I'm proud. I don't care what anybody says! I don't know whether I've watched it. I've been in the room while it's been on.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
Nick Cave
Image
All of our days are numbered. We cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all, because the worth of an idea never becomes apparent until you do it.

I don't believe in an interventionist God

I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.
Nick Cave

When I’m singing “Deanna,” for example, which I sing pretty much every night, it brings forward a kind of imagined, romanticized lie about this particular person, which I find really comforting and exciting to sing about.

I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
