I can control the weather with my moods. I just can’t control my moods.
Nick Cave

The way I go about writing records is that I make a calendar date to start the new record, so I have nothing. I don't have a bunch of notes that I bring into the office, I start with nothing at all.
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.

I am the captain of my pain.
Nick Cave
Image
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave
Image
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built out of longing great wonders have been willed they're only little tears darling let them spill and lay your head upon my shoulder.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
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
Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied.
Nick Cave
Image
Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.
Nick Cave
Image
I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
The body becomes the carrier for the work. It's not really about the physical body it really becomes the apparatus that carries and moves the work. I don't really consider the body as much I look at it as a tool.
Nick Cave
Image
Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it
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
Image
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.
Nick Cave
Image
I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.
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.
