More quotes by PJ Harvey
My mom is a sculptress.
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
The first song I heard from me was Meek Mill [I Don't Know], it was his first single before he went (to jail). I remember the first time I heard it was like eleven thirty at night, and I was like, Yo, this is crazy! And, I was smiling from ear to ear.
PJ Harvey
I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
PJ Harvey
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
[Writing] has helped me meet people.
PJ Harvey
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
If you come at the record feeling really happy and optimistic, it can be incredibly beautiful and uplifting, and if you come at it in a bleak moment, it can feel like a very dark place to share. It's all down to the listener.
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 think you have to be very careful getting the balance right if you're going to talk about grand themes like war, death and nationhood. You need to use the right language or don't do it at all.
PJ Harvey
With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It's almost like watching a scene from a film, and that's what I go about trying to catch in a song.
PJ Harvey
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.
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
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 studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.
PJ Harvey
You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.
PJ Harvey
People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey
Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
PJ Harvey
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.
