More quotes by PJ Harvey

PJ Harvey

PJ Harvey
Love for money is my sin, any man calls, I'll let him in.
PJ Harvey
I didn't even know the industry of songwriting existed. I thought everybody sang songs and they were only singing the songs that they wrote. So after I found out about songwriting in college, I was like, Okay, I want to do that.
PJ Harvey
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
I feel like Not For Long was one for me just because I got to work with two people that I looked up to...
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
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
I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.
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
People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.
PJ Harvey
As I grew older, I actually was prepared to go into fine arts school and do a degree. That was what I was actually settled upon when I was offered a record deal.
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
It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent.
PJ Harvey
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
PJ Harvey
If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.
