More quotes by PJ Harvey
I'm not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels.
PJ Harvey
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
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
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
I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.
PJ Harvey
In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.
PJ Harvey
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
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 like things that are beaten up, that have lived a little. I like things that are real. I like things that are made out of wood or string. I never feel very responsive to plastic machinery.
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
Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.
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
Being a recording artist and having thousands of people listening to your music and singing your songs, and paying for it? It feels great!
PJ Harvey
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
My mom is a sculptress.
PJ Harvey
I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.
PJ Harvey
There's a level of discipline I use as a writer, designed to get better at what I'm doing, that requires quite a lot of study and quite a lot of hard work as well.
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
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
Most of the stuff that I do talk about, about being counted out and being an underdog, 'cause that's what I feel like I am.
PJ Harvey
