More quotes by Nick Cave
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
Nick Cave

Nick Cave
Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

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

Nick Cave
I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.
Nick Cave

Nick Cave
Hamlet got a gun now.
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
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
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
Nick Cave
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
Nick Cave
No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.
Nick Cave
I have to be able to see the thing that's going on that I'm writing about, or else it just doesn't make any sense to me.
Nick Cave
I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
Nick Cave
I lost my innocence with Johnny Cash. I used to watch the Johnny Cash Show on television in Wangaratta when I was about 9 or 10 years old. At that stage I had really no idea about rock'n'roll. I watched him and from that point I saw that music could be an evil thing, a beautiful, evil thing.
Nick Cave
That's what we [outsiders] feel America is really about - the kind of crazed ravings of the Christian right - when it's probably something quite different.
