I feel like it's very important that I'm doing what I'm doing, and I want to keep honoring that and try and do it as honestly as I can.

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.

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 work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.
PJ Harvey
Image
I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.
PJ Harvey
Image
Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.
PJ Harvey

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

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

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.
