My mom is a sculptress.

[Writing] has helped me meet people.

I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.

As far as in my adult life, it kinda started (with) writing first 'cause I went to school in Nashville. I mean, not Nashville but close to Nashville, and I met my managers in L.A. at a convention randomly. And then, it kinda just started from there. And then, I got my publishing deal.

Like I have to pretend like I'm a male rapper, that I got stacks and we're in the club, and what do I want to say. And then, when writing Rare I could just be PJ.
PJ Harvey
Image
I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.
PJ Harvey
Image
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
Image
I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
PJ Harvey

I don't hold onto anything, because it's a waste of energy to do so, really. There's nothing that I can do about the way people want to write about me. I just try and concentrate on my work and do that as well as I can.

But even when I do give interviews, I always come across as such a completely different person. It seems like there's no controlling it anyway.
PJ Harvey
Image
I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.
PJ Harvey
Image
And all of these writers offer me a greater understanding of what it is to be alive, and that is such an incredible thing art can do for other people. It made me want to try and get close to this strange, mysterious thing that people can do with words.
PJ Harvey
Image
I just started writing and writing for people. And then, like I guess after (a) year of getting some placements, I kinda got a shot to be an artist. Long story short I think, yeah.
PJ Harvey
Image
The way I make music is unique to myself and the way I have lived my life - no one else would tell that story in the same way that I do.
PJ Harvey
Image
At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.
PJ Harvey

People like Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart - all of these artists were what I grew up listening to every day of my life. And there's a very healthy music scene in the west country of England, where I grew up.

If you want to be good at anything, you have to work hard at it. It doesn't just fall from the sky. I work every day at trying to improve my writing, and I really enjoy it. Nothing fascinates me more than putting words together, and seeing how a collection of words can produce quite a profound effect.
