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 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
I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
Nick Cave
It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.
Nick Cave
There's that kind of song, Whoah baby, I love you, which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.
Nick Cave
Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.
Nick Cave
At school I was an anti-magnet for women.
Nick Cave

Nick Cave
Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.
Nick Cave
And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me
Nick Cave
