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.

More quotes by Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me
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 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
Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.
Nick Cave
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
Death looms large I guess because it should. It's the one thing that we as human beings from birth have a right to. It's the only thing we've really got, and I don't mean to sound bleak about this, but it's a unifying factor amongst us all.
Nick Cave
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
The artistic process seems to be mythologized quite a lot into something far greater than it actually is. It is just hard labor.
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
Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.
Nick Cave
The more information you have, the more human our heroes become and consequently the less mysterious and godlike. They need to be godlike.
Nick Cave
'Inspiration' is a word used by people who aren't really doing anything.
Nick Cave
I'm a big fan of teatowels and am always on the lookout for a good one.
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
People often can't separate, or can't understand, that to be funny is to be serious it's a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there's a deep anxiety going on.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
The more settled I've become, the more problematic my characters have become. There was a period when I wrote sensitive and gentle songs and these came at a time when life was at its most destructive. I think you write about what you need, on some level.
Nick Cave
The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me.
Nick Cave
I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
Nick Cave
