The idea of acting is something that absolutely repulses me. I just can't do it. I'm terrible at it. I get roped into films every now and then, and it's always a disaster.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

The more settled I've become,...

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 200 quotes

Self-editing is the way I write. Ten verses of a song and it's finished. Then we start playing it and if I see that it's too long, I'll start cutting.

I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

With writing a song, I've always felt, right from the start, like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. I don't ever feel there's a font of ideas to fall back on.

It's always a pleasure on a personal note for me to come back to Australia.

I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.

I suspect the older you get the more invisible you become.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

Early on I realized when you write a song about someone, it flatters them on some level, and gives you a lot of room to move within a relationship. A song can kind of get the girl, for sure.

My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

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.

If you took love out of the equation, I wouldn't know what else to write about.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

The big problem with songwriting for me is starting a new song. It's the thing where all the anguish exists, not in the writing of the song, but the starting of the new song.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

At some point you start seeing the difference between what you really want, and what is your priority order. I feel that today I know what I want. That's the problem with perspective, as well as focus and concentration.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I'm not in the business of telling people what to do. I'm much more in the business of describing things, situations and stuff like that and leaving them out there, and you can make up your minds about them.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

It's possible to get through life without a religious structure, but I don't think that's a very fruitful way to live.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

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.

I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I write hate lyrics really well. It's not every day you can use them, really.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I was reading The Bible a lot through my 20s, mostly the Old Testament, just because I was knocked out by the language and the stories. I felt that the God being talked about there, who was this insane, vindictive patriarch - it was kind of thrilling, and titillated something in me at the time.
