More quotes by PJ Harvey
I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.
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
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
I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.
PJ Harvey
We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.

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
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
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.

PJ Harvey
I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.
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.
PJ Harvey
People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.
PJ Harvey
There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung.
PJ Harvey
I'm always trying to swim to new ground.
PJ Harvey
People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
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.
