More quotes by 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
I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm always trying to swim to new ground.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
I do write a lot of prose. It's not disciplined enough yet that it's actually become stories, or short stories. The idea of writing a novel seems impossible.
PJ Harvey
Image
In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.
PJ Harvey
Image
I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.
PJ Harvey

People like Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart - all of these artists were what I grew up listening to every day of my life. And there's a very healthy music scene in the west country of England, where I grew up.

I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
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
I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
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 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
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.
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
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
Image
I think that's always very valuable: to keep the mind open to receiving all sorts of information, which can then be used in my work, but also just as a human being.
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 not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels.
