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.

The body becomes the carrier for the work. It's not really about the physical body it really becomes the apparatus that carries and moves the work. I don't really consider the body as much I look at it as a tool.

Some are exploring the world through the subconscious. I've done that on occasions for various reasons, whether it be illness or self abuse, or whatever. Once things start to look grotesque I don't write them or sing them. I couldn't write them - making nightmares into living daylight...The minute it gets dark I shoot back, retreat.

It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.

Most people wait for the muse to turn up. That's terribly unreliable. I have to sit down and pursue the muse by attempting to work.

There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.

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?

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.

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.

The artistic process seems to be mythologized quite a lot into something far greater than it actually is. It is just hard labor.

No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.
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.

If you look around, complacency is the great disease of your autumn years, and I work hard to prevent that.

Stars have their moments then they die.

I can control the weather with my moods. I just can’t control my moods.

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.

If you're Australian, you feel it in your bones because you're at odds with everybody else, except other Australians, in the sense that people always seem to be behaving strangely. People always seem to be behaving the wrong way, in a different way. You say things and there are silences.

He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.

The writer who refuses to explore the darker regions of the heart will never be able to write convincingly about the wonder, the magic and the joy of love for just as goodness cannot be trusted unless it has breathed the same air as evil.

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

I don't believe in an interventionist God
