“It’s odd too, because someone like Polly [Jean Harvey] doesn’t – she’s really very private. She doesn’t tend to do interviews. She doesn’t like people talking about her. She’s had a couple of people wanting to do biographies on her. The basic instruction [to friends and collaborators] is, ‘don’t talk to them.’ She doesn’t want that kind of thing – she’s not interested in that. She doesn’t think it’s relevant to what she’s doing artistically. She’s just not into it."

Nice find.

The article continues on:
"“That’s the other end of the scale. It’s very clear what it is. It’s taking what’s private and what you talk about in public to the other end of that scale and saying nothing: Give them nothing. They can have nothing. They just have the art. They just have the music. They can work that out. That’s what’s important. Nothing else is relevant to it. That’s a reasonable position too, as long as it’s clear.”

"“...I’ve managed to never piss Polly off, as far as I’m aware,” Harvey says drolly.

Mick better hope word his indiscretion of talking about Polly doesn't get back to her.
