Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.
Nick Cave
Image
At the end, we're kind of observers - creative people, I mean. I feel like an observer, and I'm pretty much able to step out of things and see how things are playing out.

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

Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
Nick Cave
Image
Rock music is the province of the young, and it should be made by young people. I'm not running around in a pair of spandex tights trying to reclaim my youth.

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.

Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.

Image
I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.

And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me
Nick Cave
Image
The way I take in the world is by seeing it that is very much evident in the songs that I write.

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.

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
Image
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.

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

Everyone wants to feel that they matter.

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

Most people wait for the muse to turn up. That's terribly unreliable. I have to sit down and pursue the muse by attempting to work.
