To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
From Nick Cave
Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.
I've always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.
I'm hugely self-critical in the morning.
L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.
It's possible to get through life without a religious structure, but I don't think that's a very fruitful way to live.
I used to believe that if I could do certain things - write a book or be a successful musician - that I'd be transformed into a happy person, but it doesn't work that way.
I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
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.
Guns are part of the American psyche, aren't they? This is collateral damage for having a Wild West mentality. It's intrinsic to the American psyche. It's never going to change.
