More quotes by Nick Cave
Everyone wants to feel that they matter.
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.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.
Nick Cave
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
Nick Cave
I think there's a certain numbness in modern society, that accepts certain kinds of violence, but represses other kinds of violence.
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
Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.
Nick Cave
I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
Nick Cave
I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
If you're Australian, you feel it in your bones because you're at odds with everybody else, except other Australians, in the sense that people always seem to be behaving strangely. People always seem to be behaving the wrong way, in a different way. You say things and there are silences.
Nick Cave
When I’m singing “Deanna,” for example, which I sing pretty much every night, it brings forward a kind of imagined, romanticized lie about this particular person, which I find really comforting and exciting to sing about.
Nick Cave
I have to be able to pull you in. How can I diversify my audiences? What role do I have to play to be part of that shift? I have to take that seriously.
Nick Cave
My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.
Nick Cave
I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.
Nick Cave
Hamlet got a gun now.
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
