Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.
Nick Cave
Image
Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.
Nick Cave
Image
That's what we [outsiders] feel America is really about - the kind of crazed ravings of the Christian right - when it's probably something quite different.
Nick Cave
Image
There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.
Nick Cave
Image
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.

I don't particularly believe all love is doomed. But I guess, one is usually kinda suffering from some aborted love affair or association, rather than being at the peak of one. I think it's fairly obvious that a lot more suffering goes on in the name of love than the little happiness you can squeeze out of it.

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.

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
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
Nick Cave
Image
You searched through all my poets, From Sappho through to Auden, I saw the book fall from your hands, As you slowly died of boredom.

Hamlet got a gun now.
Nick Cave
Image
Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.
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.
Nick Cave
Image
'Inspiration' is a word used by people who aren't really doing anything.

I don't believe in an interventionist God

No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.
Nick Cave

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.
