–PJ Harvey
“If you want to be good at anything, you have to work hard at it. It doesn’t just fall
from the sky. I work every day at trying to improve my
writing, and I really enjoy it. Nothing fascinates me more than putting words together,
and seeing how a collection of words can produce quite a
profound effect.”

–Nick Cave
“Inspiration is a word used by people who aren’t really doing anything. I go into my office
every day that I’m in Brighton and work. Whether I feel like it
or not is irrelevant.'”
