I'd want to read the stories that I'd written, I'd want to show the drawings that I made. That was just purely natural. So I knew I wanted to go into the arts in some way and that I'd want to show that work in some way.
More Quotes by P. J. Harvey
My mom is a sculptress.
I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment.
I tried to use words that were dealing with the emotional quality that any human being could recognize in the way that they felt about their country. It's to do with the world we live in. That world is a brutal one and full of war. It's also full of many wonderful things and love and hope.
I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it's very physical.
I was a visual artist primarily and a writer, even from a very young age.
I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I'm myself, and if I don't, then I give nothing.
