Quote

I don't think Hollywood makes many good films anymore. How many directors can you really trust to have an artistic vision, not a corporate vision or a watered-down communal one?

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.

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.

A is for Answering all your prayers, N is for kNowing that your loverman's going to be the answer.

In the hysterical technocracy of modern music, sorrow is sent to the back of the class where it sits, pissing its pants in mortal terror.

I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.

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.

I've always worn suits. To me they're a very practical kind of thing to wear. You put one on and don't really have to think about what you're going to wear.

I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.

Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it

I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.

Everyone wants to feel that they matter.

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.

I think there's a certain numbness in modern society, that accepts certain kinds of violence, but represses other kinds of violence.

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

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

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

I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.

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.

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

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