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

There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.
Nick Cave

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

Most screen violence is tedious.

L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.

Love songs come in many guises and are seemingly written for many reasons – as declarations or to wound – I have written songs for all of these reasons – but ultimately the love songs exist to fill, with language, the silence between ourselves and God, to decrease the distance between the temporal and the divine.

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

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.

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.

No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.

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.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.
