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.

More quotes by 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
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
I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.
Nick Cave
I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.
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
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
Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
When I’m singing “Deanna,” for example, which I sing pretty much every night, it brings forward a kind of imagined, romanticized lie about this particular person, which I find really comforting and exciting to sing about.
Nick Cave
I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.
Nick Cave
Writing is a necessary thing for me, just to keep myself level. It has beneficial effects on my life.
Nick Cave
What I want people to recognize is that we have to keep working together and take charge because we all have the same story.
Nick Cave
A gentleman never talks about his tailor.
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
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.
Nick Cave
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
Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
Nick Cave
He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.
Nick Cave
As people buy less and less records, it's become more and more important for me to spend more and more on them - to lavish that much more attention on them. The Bad Seeds were always quite protective and old school, but Grinderman has opened us up to do anything and be shameless. We're not so precious about it.
Nick Cave
Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed, but all the past still yet to come.
Nick Cave
