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
Image
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
Image
I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.
Nick Cave
Image
I don't like those songs where you have to listen to a story to get into them. I don't want to have to pay attention to music in that way, I just want it to hit me in the heart and do what music's supposed to do.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

I love America. I really do. It's by far the place I like visiting out of anywhere in the world. I get a palpable sense of excitement when the plane's landing. It's a cliché, but there's still an incredible energy about New York in particular.
Nick Cave

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
Nick Cave
Image
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
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.

We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.
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
L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.
Nick Cave
Image
And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me

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

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.

If you look around, complacency is the great disease of your autumn years, and I work hard to prevent that.
Nick Cave
Image
I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.

The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me.

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.

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