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.

If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.
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
There's a level of discipline I use as a writer, designed to get better at what I'm doing, that requires quite a lot of study and quite a lot of hard work as well.
PJ Harvey
Image
I always wanted to be an artist. I think I was just waiting on somebody to approve me and be like, Oh, okay, you should be an artist, you know 'cause it wasn't until I stopped looking for approval that I could actually do it.
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
As I grew older, I actually was prepared to go into fine arts school and do a degree. That was what I was actually settled upon when I was offered a record deal.
PJ Harvey
Image
I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
PJ Harvey
Image
We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.
PJ Harvey
