I'm an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing.

More quotes by Nick Cave
Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it
Nick Cave
The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me.
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
The older I get, the more I feel those kinds of ghosts - especially the women in my life - moving out of the shadows a bit more and becoming more present in my life.
Nick Cave
This is how it essentially is for Bunny Junior. He loves his dad. He thinks there is no dad better, cleverer, or more capable, and he stands there beside him with a sense of pride - he's my dad - and he also, of course, stands beside him because he has nowhere else to go.
Nick Cave
He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.
Nick Cave
I'm a big fan of teatowels and am always on the lookout for a good one.
Nick Cave
To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
Nick Cave
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.
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.
Nick Cave
The body becomes the carrier for the work. It's not really about the physical body it really becomes the apparatus that carries and moves the work. I don't really consider the body as much I look at it as a tool.
Nick Cave
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
Nick Cave
No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.
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
My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.
Nick Cave
Everybody tends to overplay live. That's just the nature of playing live. And that can be great, but it can also kill something that's special, and intimate, about a recorded version of a song. You find out very quickly which songs you can play, and which songs you do damage to by playing them live.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
The way I take in the world is by seeing it that is very much evident in the songs that I write.
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
