Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
Nick Cave
Image
Guns are part of the American psyche, aren't they? This is collateral damage for having a Wild West mentality. It's intrinsic to the American psyche. It's never going to change.

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.

God has matured. He is not the impulsive, bowelless being of the Testaments - the vehement glorymonger, with His bag of cheap carny tricks and his booming voice - the fiery huckster with his burning bushes and his wonder wands. Nowadays God knows what He wants and He knows who He wants.

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.

I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.

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

'Inspiration' is a word used by people who aren't really doing anything.
Nick Cave
Image
L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.
Nick Cave

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.

You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.

People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
