More quotes by 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.
PJ Harvey
I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.
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'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
[Writing] has helped me meet people.
PJ Harvey
Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
PJ Harvey
There is a thread connecting you no matter how far away you are from someone and you know I have two or three relationships in my life that are like that.
PJ Harvey
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
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

PJ Harvey
You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.

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
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
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
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.
PJ Harvey
I'm always trying to swim to new ground.
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
As far as in my adult life, it kinda started (with) writing first 'cause I went to school in Nashville. I mean, not Nashville but close to Nashville, and I met my managers in L.A. at a convention randomly. And then, it kinda just started from there. And then, I got my publishing deal.
PJ Harvey
My mom is a sculptress.
PJ Harvey
If you want to be good at anything, you have to work hard at it. It doesn't just fall from the sky. I work every day at trying to improve my writing, and I really enjoy it. Nothing fascinates me more than putting words together, and seeing how a collection of words can produce quite a profound effect.
