More quotes by Nick Cave
I am the captain of my pain.
Nick Cave
Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
Nick Cave
No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.
Nick Cave
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
Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.
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
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.
Nick Cave
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
I don't believe in an interventionist God
Nick Cave
And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside 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
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
Nick Cave
Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.
Nick Cave
I've always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.
Nick Cave
No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.
Nick Cave
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
Nick Cave
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
People often can't separate, or can't understand, that to be funny is to be serious it's a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there's a deep anxiety going on.
Nick Cave
It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.
Nick Cave
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
