P. J. Harvey

I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it's very physical.

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.

I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.

I love Hindi films.

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in film not being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock because he's such a key influence on the entire history of cinema - it's hard to escape his shadow.

With literary fiction, generally a film maker falls in love with a book. In commercial fiction, it's a producer or studio falling in love with a book they can make into a movie with worldwide appeal.
