More quotes by Nick Cave
Love songs come in many guises and are seemingly written for many reasons – as declarations or to wound – I have written songs for all of these reasons – but ultimately the love songs exist to fill, with language, the silence between ourselves and God, to decrease the distance between the temporal and the divine.
Nick Cave
Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed, but all the past still yet to come.
Nick Cave
I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
Nick Cave
What I want people to recognize is that we have to keep working together and take charge because we all have the same story.
Nick Cave
I've never been interested in being relevant.
Nick Cave
I feel very much a part of what I'm writing about, and I'm writing about things that concern me on a daily basis. I'm not really interested in writing musical diaries, if you know what I mean.
Nick Cave
Stars have their moments then they die.
Nick Cave
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
Nick Cave
It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.
Nick Cave
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
You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
My responsibility as an artist is to turn up at the page or the piano or the microphone. The rest is up to God.
Nick Cave
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
Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.
Nick Cave
Most screen violence is tedious.
