The older I get, there doesn't seem to be anything remotely more interesting than talking about love and the lack of it and what happens when it's taken away from someone who's had it.

More quotes by Nick Lowe
I use the name and the thought very, very easily as a sort of comfort - as a kind of comfort, in some way. And in that way, it's just like having a friend, I suppose.
Nick Lowe
There's really never any sort of master plan. I find if I've got a couple of tunes that I think are possibilities, I phone everyone up and get them into the studio and we'll have a go at recording them.
Nick Lowe
I felt that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to do certain things, and one of them was to have a hit in my own right. At least one.
Nick Lowe
I'm an extremely slow worker, very unprolific. It can take me weeks to do a three-minute song, or at least to make it sound, in my mind, like I haven't written it. That's when I'm satisfied.
Nick Lowe
Cruel to be kind means that I love you.
Nick Lowe
A devastating culmination of the elegant and the funky, a really sensational musician with enormous depth.
Nick Lowe
My latest theory is that it's - well, I describe it as, like, being in an apartment with kind of thin walls. And in the apartment next door, they've got a radio tuned constantly on - tuned to a really cool radio station. It's on all the time. And you can just hear it coming through the wall all the time.

Going to Nashville to meet the in-laws was the first time when I'd been in America and not been seen as some sort of eccentric character with a cute accent.
Nick Lowe
When my pop career was over, I was scratching my head, thinking, God, how am I going to do something after I'm forty? I was in my mid-thirties, thinking I was on the scrap heap.
Nick Lowe
I'm still kind of a hapless character in my everyday life. But when it comes to the writing, my influences are very old influences. I love American music of absolutely all stripes, including show tunes, advertising jingles, theme tunes from quiz shows, all kinds of American music.
Nick Lowe
I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.
Nick Lowe
As soon as one of my records goes on, it makes a vast portion of the public nervous. They get spooked by it. To some people who have ears to hear, it's a delightful, refreshing change. But to most of the public, it's a load of homemade-sounding nonsense.
Nick Lowe
When I find a cover song that I like, I'll work away at it until I kind of believe that I wrote it.
Nick Lowe
I love the sound of breaking glass Especially when Im lonely I need the noises of destruction When theres nothing new.
Nick Lowe
You've got to really know your song, inside and out.
Nick Lowe
And after, you know, having the old chicken or whatever it is they bring around and a couple of cocktails, you turn to the person sitting next to you and say, you know, you going home, then?
Nick Lowe
When punk rock came along, the one thing you were not supposed to be was musical.
Nick Lowe
These days, rock 'n' roll is much more about rock than about roll. I don't do rock. But I'm interested in that roll part, because that's the funny little bit that makes it hip.
Nick Lowe
I don't have the faith now. I certainly believe in Jesus - you know, that he existed and he was a very nice man. And who can disagree with a simple philosophy of treat other people like you'd like to be treated yourself? It's absolutely - nothing I can disagree with that.
Nick Lowe
You want to sing this song. And so it goes on until eventually, after - well, however long it can take - sometimes a few days, sometimes months - you piece the whole thing together.
