More quotes by Nick Cave

Nick Cave
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave

Nick Cave
L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.
Nick Cave
A is for Answering all your prayers, N is for kNowing that your loverman's going to be the answer.
Nick Cave
I always thought my records were number one it's just the charts didn't think so.
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
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
I don't believe in an interventionist God
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
Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed, but all the past still yet to come.
Nick Cave
At school I was an anti-magnet for women.
