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
Image
At the end, we're kind of observers - creative people, I mean. I feel like an observer, and I'm pretty much able to step out of things and see how things are playing out.
Nick Cave

People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.

Guns are part of the American psyche, aren't they? This is collateral damage for having a Wild West mentality. It's intrinsic to the American psyche. It's never going to change.

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.

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

I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.

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'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.

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.
Nick Cave
Image
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.
Nick Cave

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.
Nick Cave
Image
When I start writing songs, and they come easily, I'm always very suspicious. That usually means they're reminding me of something I've already done before. When the songs become unsettling, and I feel anxious about what I'm doing, that usually means it's going to be more interesting later on when we actually record the stuff.

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.

After a while, you just don't do things you don't wanna do - that's the great freedom you get, the older you get. You learn what to do and what not to do, and what will be a waste of time and what won't be a waste of time.

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

I see it as my duty in some way is to be out in the world as an Australian putting forward what I consider to be authentic Australian music.
