More quotes by 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 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
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
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
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
It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent.
PJ Harvey
You shouldn't separate the piece from the way it's intended. I always feel like words shouldn't be unraveled from the music. They're all linked so much together.
PJ Harvey
Love for money is my sin, any man calls, I'll let him in.
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
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
I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
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
I think it does surprise me a bit when people have a very fixed idea of what I'm like, based upon the work that I do, which is something that is very separate.
PJ Harvey
I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.
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
I like things that are beaten up, that have lived a little. I like things that are real. I like things that are made out of wood or string. I never feel very responsive to plastic machinery.
PJ Harvey
In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.
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
I don't like things to be handed to me on a plate that means nothing. I like to go through layers of unraveling and every time I listen to something, it makes me feel something different. Now I'm aware of the conflict that's going on, but at the time I just let what was happening happen.
PJ Harvey
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.
