Quote

And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me

Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
Nick Cave

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.
Nick Cave

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.
Nick Cave
Image
I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
Nick Cave
Image
I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.

You're collaborating with people you don't even know, when you're making a film. You're collaborating with people you've never seen. So, the collaborative process is very, very different than when you're collaborating on a record with the musicians you've worked with all your life.

I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
Nick Cave
Image
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave

That's what we [outsiders] feel America is really about - the kind of crazed ravings of the Christian right - when it's probably something quite different.

I'm a big fan of teatowels and am always on the lookout for a good one.
Nick Cave
Image
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
Nick Cave
Image
I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.
Nick Cave
Image
As people buy less and less records, it's become more and more important for me to spend more and more on them - to lavish that much more attention on them. The Bad Seeds were always quite protective and old school, but Grinderman has opened us up to do anything and be shameless. We're not so precious about it.

Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.

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 work ethic at art school is completely different than the work ethic amongst people who get into music. People who paint, it's an honorable thing to spend all day and all night in front of your canvas - that is the romantic vision of the painter.

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.

I don't know, maybe Australian humour isn't supposed to be funny. It's as dry as the Sahara, and I think people miss that.
