P. J. Harvey

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

I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.

There's also a level of discipline I use as a writer, designed to get better at what I'm doing, that requires quite a lot of study and quite a lot of hard work as well.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.
