Quote

The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.

I just started writing and writing for people. And then, like I guess after (a) year of getting some placements, I kinda got a shot to be an artist. Long story short I think, yeah.

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

I've been so used to being supported by musicians, and I don't class myself as a particularly adept musician on instruments. I think I'm a songwriter.
PJ Harvey

I'm a very private person, so obviously I don't enjoy talking about more personal matters. But at the same time I care very much about my work and I would like people to know that it exists. So I appreciate that there's a meeting point, where I would like people to know about the work that I'm doing, and that requires me to talk about it.

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.
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
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
We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.
PJ Harvey

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
Image
I think that's always very valuable: to keep the mind open to receiving all sorts of information, which can then be used in my work, but also just as a human being.
PJ Harvey
Image
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.
