Quote

I've always worn suits. To me they're a very practical kind of thing to wear. You put one on and don't really have to think about what you're going to wear.

I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.

Stars have their moments then they die.

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

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

I think there's a certain numbness in modern society, that accepts certain kinds of violence, but represses other kinds of violence.

I've always done a lot of research and stuff around the songs that I write so there are pages and pages of writing and you can kind of see these songs emerging.

The idea of songwriting is a transformative thing, and what I do with songwriting is take situations that are quite ordinary and transform them in some way. Apart from things like the murder ballads, the songs I write, at their core, are quite ordinary human concerns, but the process of writing about them transforms them into something else.

I think I have always had a pretty strong creative impulse. And that has probably saved me from abandoning myself completely.

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.

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.

I have to be able to pull you in. How can I diversify my audiences? What role do I have to play to be part of that shift? I have to take that seriously.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

The more information you have, the more human our heroes become and consequently the less mysterious and godlike. They need to be godlike.

I've spent my life butting my head against other people's lack of imagination.

Love songs come in many guises and are seemingly written for many reasons – as declarations or to wound – I have written songs for all of these reasons – but ultimately the love songs exist to fill, with language, the silence between ourselves and God, to decrease the distance between the temporal and the divine.

Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it

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.

All of our days are numbered. We cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all, because the worth of an idea never becomes apparent until you do it.

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.
