More quotes by 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
God has matured. He is not the impulsive, bowelless being of the Testaments - the vehement glorymonger, with His bag of cheap carny tricks and his booming voice - the fiery huckster with his burning bushes and his wonder wands. Nowadays God knows what He wants and He knows who He wants.
Nick Cave
My music has to do with beauty, and it's intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.
Nick Cave
Hamlet got a gun now.
Nick Cave
To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
Nick Cave
Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
Nick Cave
Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
Most screen violence is tedious.
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
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
I see it as my duty in some way is to be out in the world as an Australian putting forward what I consider to be authentic Australian music.
Nick Cave
The more information you have, the more human our heroes become and consequently the less mysterious and godlike. They need to be godlike.
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
This is how it essentially is for Bunny Junior. He loves his dad. He thinks there is no dad better, cleverer, or more capable, and he stands there beside him with a sense of pride - he's my dad - and he also, of course, stands beside him because he has nowhere else to go.
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
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.
Nick Cave
Death looms large I guess because it should. It's the one thing that we as human beings from birth have a right to. It's the only thing we've really got, and I don't mean to sound bleak about this, but it's a unifying factor amongst us all.
Nick Cave
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
Nick Cave
At school I was an anti-magnet for women.
