More quotes by PJ Harvey

Image
I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm always trying to swim to new ground.
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 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
But even when I do give interviews, I always come across as such a completely different person. It seems like there's no controlling it anyway.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.
PJ Harvey
Image
Some things lend themselves well to songs, some things don't, and I'm learning that a lot at the moment. It's still a relatively new way of writing. It's only really the last five to 10 years that I've taken my writing seriously in this way, as something I can keep working toward. I think I feel myself much more before as simply a songwriter.
PJ Harvey
Image
It [ Not For Long] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.
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
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 studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.
PJ Harvey
Image
I've been so used to being supported by musicians, and I don't class myself as a particularly adept musician on instruments. I think I'm a songwriter.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
Image
I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.
PJ Harvey
Image
I think I've been interested in music since I was little.
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.
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 knew what I didn't want to do- that's always my starting point. The starting point is always that I don't want to repeat myself. Or I try my best not to, with varying degrees of success.
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.
