More quotes by Nick Cave
I see it as my duty in some way is to be out in the world as an Australian putting forward what I consider to be authentic Australian music.
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 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'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.
Nick Cave
Rock music is the province of the young, and it should be made by young people. I'm not running around in a pair of spandex tights trying to reclaim my youth.
Nick Cave
I've always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.
Nick Cave
I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.
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
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
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
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
Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
Nick Cave
I don't think Hollywood makes many good films anymore. How many directors can you really trust to have an artistic vision, not a corporate vision or a watered-down communal one?
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.
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
A is for Answering all your prayers, N is for kNowing that your loverman's going to be the answer.
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
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
Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.
Nick Cave
