I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built out of longing great wonders have been willed they're only little tears darling let them spill and lay your head upon my shoulder.

I've watched 'Oprah Winfrey.' And I'm proud. I don't care what anybody says! I don't know whether I've watched it. I've been in the room while it's been on.

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.

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’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.

I'm an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing.

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.

You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.

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

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.

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

I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.

Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.

Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

You searched through all my poets, From Sappho through to Auden, I saw the book fall from your hands, As you slowly died of boredom.

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.

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.

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