More quotes by Nick Cave

The actualising of God through the medium of the love song remains my prime motivation as an artist.

Given during a lecture at the Vienna Poetry Festival (1998)

Love is a state that I would like to exist in continuously.

God is in everything whether I’m mentioning him or not.

My responsibility as an artist is to turn up at the page or the piano or the microphone. The rest is up to God.

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.
