Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it
Nick Cave

I feel very much a part of what I'm writing about, and I'm writing about things that concern me on a daily basis. I'm not really interested in writing musical diaries, if you know what I mean.

After a while, you just don't do things you don't wanna do - that's the great freedom you get, the older you get. You learn what to do and what not to do, and what will be a waste of time and what won't be a waste of time.

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.

L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.
Nick Cave
Image
Writing is a necessary thing for me, just to keep myself level. It has beneficial effects on my life.
Nick Cave
Image
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
Image
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

I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.
Nick Cave
Image
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave
Image
I've spent my life butting my head against other people's lack of imagination.

No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.

I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.
Nick Cave

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.
