The devil wanders into my soul.
PJ Harvey
Image
The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.
PJ Harvey
Image
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 don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
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.

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.

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.

I've always felt profoundly about what's going on in the world on a daily basis. What I hadn't felt was that I was at a point in my writing career where I could write about these things in songs and do it well.
PJ Harvey
Image
I think it does surprise me a bit when people have a very fixed idea of what I'm like, based upon the work that I do, which is something that is very separate.
PJ Harvey
Image
You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

The first song I heard from me was Meek Mill [I Don't Know], it was his first single before he went (to jail). I remember the first time I heard it was like eleven thirty at night, and I was like, Yo, this is crazy! And, I was smiling from ear to ear.

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

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.

[Writing] has helped me meet people.
PJ Harvey

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'm not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels.

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

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

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.
