More quotes by PJ Harvey
There is a thread connecting you no matter how far away you are from someone and you know I have two or three relationships in my life that are like that.
PJ Harvey
I also like a lot of silence, and when you're touring, it's constantly noise, all the time, you're surrounded with 15 or 20 people the entire time. I find that tough.
PJ Harvey
Ideas for songs can come from something as simple as a photograph and letting my imagination run wild on an old photograph that I found, or to a film that I have seen or to just most of the time, just daily walking through life and keeping your eyes open.
PJ Harvey
You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
PJ Harvey
I didn't know folk music growing up, no. It's something I've come to study, really, because I think there's so much to learn from traditional music in the sense of the way music began as a way of communication, the traveling storyteller, the bard, the minstrels.
PJ Harvey
I'm always trying to swim to new ground.
PJ Harvey
It [ Not For Long] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.
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
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.
PJ Harvey
There's a level of discipline I use as a writer, designed to get better at what I'm doing, that requires quite a lot of study and quite a lot of hard work as well.
PJ Harvey
I think blues music is music of the soul. Of course, there are other forms. You could call some classical music blues music in that way.
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
We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.
PJ Harvey
Some things lend themselves well to songs, some things don't, and I'm learning that a lot at the moment. It's still a relatively new way of writing. It's only really the last five to 10 years that I've taken my writing seriously in this way, as something I can keep working toward. I think I feel myself much more before as simply a songwriter.
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 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 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 find it hard myself to feel justified to sing in a very politically direct way about war or social conditions because I feel so ignorant of a lot of it.
PJ Harvey
Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
PJ Harvey
I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
PJ Harvey
