More quotes by Nick Cave
I've never been interested in being relevant.
Nick Cave
If you look around, complacency is the great disease of your autumn years, and I work hard to prevent that.
Nick Cave
We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.
Nick Cave
Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.
Nick Cave
Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.
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
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

Nick Cave
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
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 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
Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it
Nick Cave
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.
Nick Cave
The way I take in the world is by seeing it that is very much evident in the songs that I write.
Nick Cave
I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
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
