More quotes by PJ Harvey

Image
I knew what I didn't want to do- that's always my starting point. The starting point is always that I don't want to repeat myself. Or I try my best not to, with varying degrees of success.
PJ Harvey
Image
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
Image
I think I've been interested in music since I was little.
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.

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
Like I have to pretend like I'm a male rapper, that I got stacks and we're in the club, and what do I want to say. And then, when writing Rare I could just be PJ.
PJ Harvey
Image
To think of myself as a role model is extremely flattering, but I could never accept that, because Im just learning like everybody else.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
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
Folk music was to strengthen and unify people, whether it was through an uprising and rebellion or whether is was through hard work, bringing in crops. But it was to strengthen each other and that's still what music is about today.
PJ Harvey
Image
Most of the stuff that I do talk about, about being counted out and being an underdog, 'cause that's what I feel like I am.
PJ Harvey
Image
I like to be around things that I find inspiring.

My mom is a sculptress.
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
Image
I just started writing and writing for people. And then, like I guess after (a) year of getting some placements, I kinda got a shot to be an artist. Long story short I think, yeah.

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.
