People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave
People often can't separate, or can't understand, that to be funny is to be serious it's a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there's a deep anxiety going on.
Nick Cave
Everyone wants to feel that they matter.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.
Nick Cave
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
I don't like those songs where you have to listen to a story to get into them. I don't want to have to pay attention to music in that way, I just want it to hit me in the heart and do what music's supposed to do.
Nick Cave
I love America. I really do. It's by far the place I like visiting out of anywhere in the world. I get a palpable sense of excitement when the plane's landing. It's a cliché, but there's still an incredible energy about New York in particular.
Nick Cave
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
Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it
Nick Cave
Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.
Nick Cave
I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.
Nick Cave
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
I’ve never intended to make religious records or records that preach some kind of point of view... If you’re involved with imagination and the creative process, it’s not such a difficult thing to believe in a god. But I’m not involved in any religions.
Nick Cave
I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.
Nick Cave
I lost my innocence with Johnny Cash. I used to watch the Johnny Cash Show on television in Wangaratta when I was about 9 or 10 years old. At that stage I had really no idea about rock'n'roll. I watched him and from that point I saw that music could be an evil thing, a beautiful, evil thing.
Nick Cave
My responsibility as an artist is to turn up at the page or the piano or the microphone. The rest is up to God.
Nick Cave
Writing is a necessary thing for me, just to keep myself level. It has beneficial effects on my life.
Nick Cave
I've always worn suits. To me they're a very practical kind of thing to wear. You put one on and don't really have to think about what you're going to wear.
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.
Nick Cave
