More quotes by PJ Harvey
If you come at the record feeling really happy and optimistic, it can be incredibly beautiful and uplifting, and if you come at it in a bleak moment, it can feel like a very dark place to share. It's all down to the listener.
PJ Harvey
The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.
PJ Harvey
With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It's almost like watching a scene from a film, and that's what I go about trying to catch in a song.
PJ Harvey
I feel like the actual, the most beautiful thing about a song is that it is something that goes out there in the universe and people use it in the way that they need it in their lives.
PJ Harvey
I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey
People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.
PJ Harvey
I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.
PJ Harvey
I didn't even know the industry of songwriting existed. I thought everybody sang songs and they were only singing the songs that they wrote. So after I found out about songwriting in college, I was like, Okay, I want to do that.
PJ Harvey
I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
PJ Harvey
I come from an art-school background, and I still feel that in my music, it's about exploration and challenging myself, about putting myself in a place that's frightening because I haven't been there before.
PJ Harvey
I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.
PJ Harvey
Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.
PJ Harvey
Being a recording artist and having thousands of people listening to your music and singing your songs, and paying for it? It feels great!
PJ Harvey
I'm a very private person, so obviously I don't enjoy talking about more personal matters. But at the same time I care very much about my work and I would like people to know that it exists. So I appreciate that there's a meeting point, where I would like people to know about the work that I'm doing, and that requires me to talk about it.
PJ Harvey
I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.
PJ Harvey
It varies, I don't think there is any one set way of writing songs or coming up with ideas, it comes in so many ways you know.
PJ Harvey
I feel like Not For Long was one for me just because I got to work with two people that I looked up to...
PJ Harvey
I think you have to be very careful getting the balance right if you're going to talk about grand themes like war, death and nationhood. You need to use the right language or don't do it at all.
PJ Harvey
It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent.
PJ Harvey
Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.
