In the hysterical technocracy of modern music, sorrow is sent to the back of the class where it sits, pissing its pants in mortal terror.
Nick Cave

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.
Nick Cave
Image
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
Nick Cave
Image
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.

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

The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me.

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

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 always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.

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.

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.

Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed, but all the past still yet to come.

Image
The problem with books, now that I've written one, is that the idea of adaptation is so much easier than sitting down to write something new.
Nick Cave

Everyone wants to feel that they matter.
Nick Cave
Image
The way I take in the world is by seeing it that is very much evident in the songs that I write.
Nick Cave
Image
Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied.
Nick Cave

I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.

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?

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.
