PJ Harvey
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...
PJ Harvey
[Writing] has helped me meet people.
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
And all of these writers offer me a greater understanding of what it is to be alive, and that is such an incredible thing art can do for other people. It made me want to try and get close to this strange, mysterious thing that people can do with words.
PJ Harvey
I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey
I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.
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
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
