I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey
Image
I come from an art-school background, and I still feel that in my music, it's about exploration and challenging myself, about putting myself in a place that's frightening because I haven't been there before.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.
PJ Harvey
Image
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.

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.

I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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
I do write a lot of prose. It's not disciplined enough yet that it's actually become stories, or short stories. The idea of writing a novel seems impossible.
PJ Harvey
Image
I like to be around things that I find inspiring.

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 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.

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 don't like things to be handed to me on a plate that means nothing. I like to go through layers of unraveling and every time I listen to something, it makes me feel something different. Now I'm aware of the conflict that's going on, but at the time I just let what was happening happen.

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

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.

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