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.

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

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.

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

The songs that I like are the ones that you can't visualize, that are just cries from the heart - those very straight, direct songs that make rock & roll music so wonderful.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

The last thing I ever wanted ...

The last thing I ever wanted to get involved with is Hollywood. The way it works is that people get an idea you could possibly do something, but there's a one-in-a-hundred chance that it could get made.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I'm an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing.

Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

I'm a big fan of teatowels and am always on the lookout for a good one.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I consider myself to be first...

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I know when I sit with my band members and we're playing back a song that we've done, I know that they're experiencing it in a completely different way and hearing stuff that they're alerted to because the way the interpret the world is through their ears. Mine is through my eyes.

If I'm hanging around too much, my wife and kids say, 'Hey, why don't you go downstairs and start a new novel?'

Nick Cave 200 quotes

Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.

I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

Songs you can dip in and out of, but a book... well, it can overpower you.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I have a very strange relationship in general with women around my music. There's some that understand it and some that think there should be a law against it.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I'm not saying this in a condescending kind of way, but it's quite simple: The making of America was a heroic thing. Australia has a much murkier, much more complex view of its history. It's just full of all these open wounds we don't really know what to do with.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I love being manipulated by what I see. I love weepies and romantic comedies where you're reaching for the Kleenex at the right moment.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

The rock star is dying. And it's a small tragedy. Rock stars have blogs now. I have no use for that kind of rock star.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

The problem with books, now that I've written one, is that the idea of adaptation is so much easier than sitting down to write something new.
