PJ Harvey
Image
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.

I'm always trying to swim to new ground.

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.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
PJ Harvey
Image
The devil wanders into my soul.
PJ Harvey
Image
Love for money is my sin, any man calls, I'll let him in.
PJ Harvey
Image
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.
PJ Harvey
Image
I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey
Image
I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
PJ Harvey
Image
I think I've been interested in music since I was little.
PJ Harvey
Image
You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.

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.
