More quotes by 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
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.
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
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.
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 think I have always had a pretty strong creative impulse. And that has probably saved me from abandoning myself completely.
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
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
Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
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
Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
Nick Cave
I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.
Nick Cave
I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.
Nick Cave
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
Nick Cave
To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
Nick Cave
In getting older, I find myself becoming progressively more ineffectual in a lot of different ways, and part of that is down to no longer having the youthful feeling that what you're doing has any true impact.
Nick Cave
I am the captain of my pain.
Nick Cave
No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.

Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?
