My mom is a sculptress.

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

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 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

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 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.

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.

I think I've been interested in music since I was little.
PJ Harvey
Image
It varies, I don't think there is any one set way of writing songs or coming up with ideas, it comes in so many ways you know.
PJ Harvey
Image
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.
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.

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.

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
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.

[Writing] has helped me meet people.
PJ Harvey

I knew what I didn't want to do- that's always my starting point. The starting point is always that I don't want to repeat myself. Or I try my best not to, with varying degrees of success.
