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
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
I don't believe in an interventionist God
Nick Cave
The more settled I've become, the more problematic my characters have become. There was a period when I wrote sensitive and gentle songs and these came at a time when life was at its most destructive. I think you write about what you need, on some level.
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
Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.
Nick Cave
Writing is a necessary thing for me, just to keep myself level. It has beneficial effects on my life.
Nick Cave
There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.
Nick Cave
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.
Nick Cave
Hamlet got a gun now.
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
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 don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
In the hysterical technocracy of modern music, sorrow is sent to the back of the class where it sits, pissing its pants in mortal terror.
Nick Cave
I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point.
Nick Cave
Love songs come in many guises and are seemingly written for many reasons – as declarations or to wound – I have written songs for all of these reasons – but ultimately the love songs exist to fill, with language, the silence between ourselves and God, to decrease the distance between the temporal and the divine.
Nick Cave
I think there's a certain numbness in modern society, that accepts certain kinds of violence, but represses other kinds of violence.
Nick Cave
Most screen violence is tedious.
Nick Cave
A gentleman never talks about his tailor.
Nick Cave
Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?
