Im very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. Its the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange. – Nick Cave
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. Theres immense happiness that can come from working towards that. – Nick Cave
I love rock-n-roll. I think its an exciting art form. Its revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music. – Nick Cave
Im a believer. I dont go to church. I dont belong to any particular religion, but I do believe in God. I couldnt write what I write about and be creative without a certain form of belief. – Nick Cave
I was in a really crummy pop-punk band. I think we did a whole bunch of Blink-182 covers, and we were on the fringe of losers and jocks. So we invited all the cool kids to come watch us play in our bass players brothers bedroom. And it was terrible, but everyone thought we were so cool. – Nate Ruess
