Nick Cave Quotes

Do You Want To Know How To Write A Song? Songwriting Is About Counterpoint. Counterpoint Is The Key. Putting Two Disparate Images Beside Each Other And Seeing Which Way The Sparks Fly. Like Letting A Small Child In The Same Room As, I Don't Know, A Mongolian Psychopath Or Something, And Just Sitting Back And Seeing What Happens. Then You Send In A Clown, Say, On A Tricycle And Again You Wait And You Watch. And If That Doesn't Do It, You Shoot The Clown.
