More quotes by Nick Cave
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
Nick Cave
Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied.
Nick Cave
I write songs from the point of view I had at a timeI'm not tryingto write songs from a young person's point of view.That only ends in disaster.
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
I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
Nick Cave
I have to be able to pull you in. How can I diversify my audiences? What role do I have to play to be part of that shift? I have to take that seriously.
Nick Cave
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
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
I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.
Nick Cave
After a while, you just don't do things you don't wanna do - that's the great freedom you get, the older you get. You learn what to do and what not to do, and what will be a waste of time and what won't be a waste of time.
Nick Cave
Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
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
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
Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.
Nick Cave
Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?
Nick Cave
Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.
Nick Cave
Rock music is the province of the young, and it should be made by young people. I'm not running around in a pair of spandex tights trying to reclaim my youth.
Nick Cave
I'm a big fan of teatowels and am always on the lookout for a good one.
Nick Cave
Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.
Nick Cave
All of our days are numbered. We cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all, because the worth of an idea never becomes apparent until you do it.
Nick Cave
