Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.

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

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

Songs you can dip in and out ...

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

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

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

Nick Cave 200 quotes

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

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.

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.

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

Nick Cave 200 quotes

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

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.

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've had to try and find a wa...

I've had to try and find a way over the years of writing narratively that doesn't really require you to sit down and work out what the story's about. You're brought into a sort of sequence of images that have that emotional resonance, but it's kind of irrelevant what the actual story is. It's taken me maybe 13 albums or something to work that out.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

We as visual artists need to ...

We as visual artists need to continue to be renegades and say, "Yes I am here to do a project, but what is the social service?"

Nick Cave 200 quotes

When I start writing songs, and they come easily, I'm always very suspicious. That usually means they're reminding me of something I've already done before. When the songs become unsettling, and I feel anxious about what I'm doing, that usually means it's going to be more interesting later on when we actually record the stuff.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

That's what I like about watching a movie: you enter an imagined world that's more interesting, more engaging than your own. Or less painful than your own.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

It is the haunted premises of...

It is the haunted premises of longing that the true love song inhabits. It is a howl in the void, for love and for comfort and it lives on the lips of the child crying for his mother. It is the song of the lover in need of her loved one, the raving of the lunatic supplicant petitioning his God...The love song is the sound of our endeavors to become God-like, to rise up and above the earthbound and the mediocre.

Nick Cave 200 quotes

I write songs in batches and ...

I write songs in batches and then record them and then can't write again for ages. I try and build one song upon another, they may not obviously look inter-related but often one song acts as a springboard into another.

A is for Answering all your prayers, N is for kNowing that your loverman's going to be the answer.
