I feel like when I'm writing for other people, when I'm doing rap hooks, it's kinda like playing dress up for me...
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.

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
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

Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.
PJ Harvey

People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.
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.

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'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
PJ Harvey
Image
I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.
PJ Harvey
Image
And all of these writers offer me a greater understanding of what it is to be alive, and that is such an incredible thing art can do for other people. It made me want to try and get close to this strange, mysterious thing that people can do with words.
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 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 doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.
PJ Harvey
Image
I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.
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
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
Image
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.
