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.

It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
