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.

More quotes by Nick Cave
The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me.
Nick Cave
I've spent my life butting my head against other people's lack of imagination.
Nick Cave
I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.
Nick Cave
The work ethic at art school is completely different than the work ethic amongst people who get into music. People who paint, it's an honorable thing to spend all day and all night in front of your canvas - that is the romantic vision of the painter.
Nick Cave
I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.
Nick Cave
You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.
Nick Cave
All of our days are numbered. We cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all, because the worth of an idea never becomes apparent until you do it.
Nick Cave
I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.
Nick Cave
To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
Nick Cave
I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.
Nick Cave
I think I have always had a pretty strong creative impulse. And that has probably saved me from abandoning myself completely.
Nick Cave
Guns are part of the American psyche, aren't they? This is collateral damage for having a Wild West mentality. It's intrinsic to the American psyche. It's never going to change.
Nick Cave
I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
Nick Cave
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
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
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
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.
Nick Cave
I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
Nick Cave
The idea of songwriting is a transformative thing, and what I do with songwriting is take situations that are quite ordinary and transform them in some way. Apart from things like the murder ballads, the songs I write, at their core, are quite ordinary human concerns, but the process of writing about them transforms them into something else.
