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 have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.

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

Most screen violence is tedious.
Nick Cave

People often can't separate, or can't understand, that to be funny is to be serious it's a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there's a deep anxiety going on.

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.

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.

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.

The artistic process seems to be mythologized quite a lot into something far greater than it actually is. It is just hard labor.

You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.

Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.
Nick Cave

I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
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.

Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
Nick Cave

There's that kind of song, Whoah baby, I love you, which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.
Nick Cave

When I start to write a song, I initially fall into patterns and creative habits that are familiar, and because they're familiar, they sound convincing. It's important for me to not pursue those ideas, because I've already done them, but to find ideas that are different and feel strange to write and disconcerting to write.

I've always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.

The older I get, the more I feel those kinds of ghosts - especially the women in my life - moving out of the shadows a bit more and becoming more present in my life.
