More quotes by 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.
Nick Cave
Image
I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
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 am the captain of my pain.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
Nick Cave
Image
I’ve never intended to make religious records or records that preach some kind of point of view... If you’re involved with imagination and the creative process, it’s not such a difficult thing to believe in a god. But I’m not involved in any religions.

I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.
Nick Cave
Image
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.
Nick Cave
Image
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
Image
The editing of a song is largely what makes the song for me and I think that actually if I had started going like 'I want you to burn' it would have pinned that song down to a particular thing and made that song a smaller idea than what it is. By leaving that off it's much more open, broader.
Nick Cave
Image
I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.
Nick Cave
Image
What I want people to recognize is that we have to keep working together and take charge because we all have the same story.
Nick Cave

A gentleman never talks about his tailor.
Nick Cave
Image
If you look around, complacency is the great disease of your autumn years, and I work hard to prevent that.
Nick Cave
Image
I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.
Nick Cave
Image
I have to be able to see the thing that's going on that I'm writing about, or else it just doesn't make any sense to me.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
My music has to do with beauty, and it's intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.
Nick Cave

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.
