I love America. I really do. It's by far the place I like visiting out of anywhere in the world. I get a palpable sense of excitement when the plane's landing. It's a cliché, but there's still an incredible energy about New York in particular.
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
