- PJ Harvey being interviewed by Lewis Largent on 120 Minutes in MTV, 1993. I saw another video with part of this interview but didn’t notice one with the whole thing so here it is.
If you watched her in this interview and then listened to her music for the first time, you would be in for quite a shock.
I have to say that she is the most feminine woman I have ever seen. People I think tend to equate feminine with frailty or weakness, rather like a man's sidekick. Polly Jean shows what it is - no girly weakness, she's a totally mature woman, powerful feminine shining out, embracing herself as totally normal, in a more natural way than society's constraints - and its like seeing a rare bird.
PJ Harvey cuts thru the BS of the interviewer when she speaks to her choice of Steve Albini as producer: like, he's the only producer she knows that records a band to sound like your standing in the same room as the band. Cut and dry.
Polly is so much like a young Kate Bush was in her early interviews. For me those two are by far the best female singer songwriters the UK has ever produced
I love how soft her speaking voice is. So unexpected.
Rid of Me is one of THE best albums ever.
She has natural beauty, no makeup, just pure, and interesting
I think what strikes me the most about her is her humility; there's no pretense at all. She's got tons and tons of integrity as well. I feel that the word "icon" can be applied to her...and she's been doing it for years!
I like the interviewer, he's really good at what he does. Plus: He adores her!
Fuck, that was adorable.
The contrast between her performing demeanor and her interpersonal demeanor is amazing and inspiring. Lots and lots of levels to this gifted woman.
So cute how hard this guy is crushing on her during the interview! "You have nice hair" geeezus lol. How wise is PJ and what a brilliant gate keeper for real sound even at a young age - a true artist.
Her style is the pinnacle of fashion. She's just an icon
Not many people are so self assured at such a young age, or ever!
Cracking up at how hard the interviewer is crushing on PJ! :'-D Who wouldn't be!
I like how she says she decided to use her name for the band because she was the lead songwriter and she wasn’t sure if her band mates were in on this as much as she was. Certainly a wise decision! Many of us never knew “PJ Harvey” started off as the name of the band.
I feel like she’s one of those singers that no matter what genre you like everybody loves her
Thank you for sharing it! She looks so sweet and shy 💘

I love PJ Harvey and this is the first time I've seen this interview. She is a powerful force in the industry and I love how assertive she is and how she does what is best for her music, I can relate to her in that aspect, creating music authentically comes before popularity.
