I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

Stars have their moments then they die.
Nick Cave
Image
I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.
Nick Cave
Image
Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.
Nick Cave
Image
I don't believe in an interventionist God
Nick Cave

Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
Nick Cave
Image
In the hysterical technocracy of modern music, sorrow is sent to the back of the class where it sits, pissing its pants in mortal terror.
Nick Cave
Image
Most people wait for the muse to turn up. That's terribly unreliable. I have to sit down and pursue the muse by attempting to work.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

My responsibility as an artist is to turn up at the page or the piano or the microphone. The rest is up to God.
Nick Cave

The writer who refuses to explore the darker regions of the heart will never be able to write convincingly about the wonder, the magic and the joy of love for just as goodness cannot be trusted unless it has breathed the same air as evil.
Nick Cave

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

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.
Nick Cave

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.

I've never been interested in being relevant.
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.

Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.

But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten . . .

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.

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.

Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it
