More quotes by PJ Harvey

Image
When a poem might become a song, then certain parts are repeated and might become a refrain or a chorus, so they change in that way. But it's more the nature of the words and what they're saying that determines whether it's a poem or a song.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.
PJ Harvey
Image
You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
PJ Harvey
Image
You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
I think I've been interested in music since I was little.
PJ Harvey
Image
I've been so used to being supported by musicians, and I don't class myself as a particularly adept musician on instruments. I think I'm a songwriter.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
Image
I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
PJ Harvey
Image
The craft, the writing of a song, is about creating a story, a life story, a world within three minutes, but that's the frame, if you like, the picture frame. That fascinates me.
PJ Harvey
Image
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.
PJ Harvey
Image
People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey
Image
I always wanted to be an artist. I think I was just waiting on somebody to approve me and be like, Oh, okay, you should be an artist, you know 'cause it wasn't until I stopped looking for approval that I could actually do it.
PJ Harvey
Image
I've always felt that I'm affected by the world, by the way we treat each other, by the way different countries treat each other. I've always been very affected by politics, society, but I never got to a place as a writer where I felt like I could begin to deal with such things and do it well.
PJ Harvey
Image
I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.
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.
