The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.
PJ Harvey

When a poem might become a song, then certain parts are repeated and might become a refrain or a chorus, so they change in that way. But it's more the nature of the words and what they're saying that determines whether it's a poem or a song.

The craft, the writing of a song, is about creating a story, a life story, a world within three minutes, but that's the frame, if you like, the picture frame. That fascinates me.

I think you have to be very careful getting the balance right if you're going to talk about grand themes like war, death and nationhood. You need to use the right language or don't do it at all.

Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.
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
I've always felt that I'm affected by the world, by the way we treat each other, by the way different countries treat each other. I've always been very affected by politics, society, but I never got to a place as a writer where I felt like I could begin to deal with such things and do it well.

You shouldn't separate the piece from the way it's intended. I always feel like words shouldn't be unraveled from the music. They're all linked so much together.
PJ Harvey
Image
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.

People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey

I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.
PJ Harvey

People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.
PJ Harvey

It [ Not For Long] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.
PJ Harvey
Image
[I] try to do both because the writing for me, to be a new artist, the writing is gonna pay the bills.

I think blues music is music of the soul. Of course, there are other forms. You could call some classical music blues music in that way.
PJ Harvey

I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
PJ Harvey
Image
I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey

I'm a very private person, so obviously I don't enjoy talking about more personal matters. But at the same time I care very much about my work and I would like people to know that it exists. So I appreciate that there's a meeting point, where I would like people to know about the work that I'm doing, and that requires me to talk about it.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.
