It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.

More quotes by Nick Cave
I don't think Hollywood makes many good films anymore. How many directors can you really trust to have an artistic vision, not a corporate vision or a watered-down communal one?
Nick Cave
I can control the weather with my moods. I just can’t control my moods.
Nick Cave
Death looms large I guess because it should. It's the one thing that we as human beings from birth have a right to. It's the only thing we've really got, and I don't mean to sound bleak about this, but it's a unifying factor amongst us all.
Nick Cave
As people buy less and less records, it's become more and more important for me to spend more and more on them - to lavish that much more attention on them. The Bad Seeds were always quite protective and old school, but Grinderman has opened us up to do anything and be shameless. We're not so precious about it.
Nick Cave
Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.
Nick Cave
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
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
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.
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
I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.
Nick Cave
But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten . . .
Nick Cave
Most screen violence is tedious.
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.
Nick Cave
Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
Nick Cave
I don't particularly believe all love is doomed. But I guess, one is usually kinda suffering from some aborted love affair or association, rather than being at the peak of one. I think it's fairly obvious that a lot more suffering goes on in the name of love than the little happiness you can squeeze out of it.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
Nick Cave
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.
Nick Cave
I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
Nick Cave
If you're Australian, you feel it in your bones because you're at odds with everybody else, except other Australians, in the sense that people always seem to be behaving strangely. People always seem to be behaving the wrong way, in a different way. You say things and there are silences.
Nick Cave
