I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.
Nick Cave
Image
I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point.

No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.

Image
No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
I've never been interested in being relevant.
Nick Cave
Image
I’ve never intended to make religious records or records that preach some kind of point of view... If you’re involved with imagination and the creative process, it’s not such a difficult thing to believe in a god. But I’m not involved in any religions.

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.

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.

When I start to write a song, I initially fall into patterns and creative habits that are familiar, and because they're familiar, they sound convincing. It's important for me to not pursue those ideas, because I've already done them, but to find ideas that are different and feel strange to write and disconcerting to write.

I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.

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
Image
I feel very much a part of what I'm writing about, and I'm writing about things that concern me on a daily basis. I'm not really interested in writing musical diaries, if you know what I mean.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
The artistic process seems to be mythologized quite a lot into something far greater than it actually is. It is just hard labor.
Nick Cave
Image
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
