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
Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.
PJ Harvey

Being a recording artist and having thousands of people listening to your music and singing your songs, and paying for it? It feels great!
PJ Harvey

People want to build musicians into mythical beings.

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
PJ Harvey

[I] try to do both because the writing for me, to be a new artist, the writing is gonna pay the bills.
PJ Harvey

There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung.

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.

I feel like Not For Long was one for me just because I got to work with two people that I looked up to...
PJ Harvey

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.

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.

[Writing] has helped me meet people.

I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.
PJ Harvey

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey

Most of the stuff that I do talk about, about being counted out and being an underdog, 'cause that's what I feel like I am.
PJ Harvey
Image
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
PJ Harvey
Image
I like things that are beaten up, that have lived a little. I like things that are real. I like things that are made out of wood or string. I never feel very responsive to plastic machinery.
PJ Harvey

Some things lend themselves well to songs, some things don't, and I'm learning that a lot at the moment. It's still a relatively new way of writing. It's only really the last five to 10 years that I've taken my writing seriously in this way, as something I can keep working toward. I think I feel myself much more before as simply a songwriter.

I feel like when I'm writing for other people, when I'm doing rap hooks, it's kinda like playing dress up for me...

If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.
