Nick Cave
At school I was an anti-magnet for women.
Nick Cave
And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me
Nick Cave
I don't like those songs where you have to listen to a story to get into them. I don't want to have to pay attention to music in that way, I just want it to hit me in the heart and do what music's supposed to do.
Nick Cave
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.
Nick Cave
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
Nick Cave

I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
The editing of a song is largely what makes the song for me and I think that actually if I had started going like 'I want you to burn' it would have pinned that song down to a particular thing and made that song a smaller idea than what it is. By leaving that off it's much more open, broader.
Nick Cave

Nick Cave
No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.
Nick Cave

Nick Cave
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
Nick Cave
The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me.
Nick Cave
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
Nick Cave
Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.
Nick Cave
I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point.
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.
