You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
PJ Harvey
Image
I feel like it's very important that I'm doing what I'm doing, and I want to keep honoring that and try and do it as honestly as I can.
PJ Harvey
Image
The devil wanders into my soul.
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
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.

I'm not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels.
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
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
Image
Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.

Image
I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

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
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
Image
The way I make music is unique to myself and the way I have lived my life - no one else would tell that story in the same way that I do.
PJ Harvey
Image
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

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
Image
[I] try to do both because the writing for me, to be a new artist, the writing is gonna pay the bills.
PJ Harvey
Image
People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey
Image
It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent.
PJ Harvey
Image
Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
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.
