Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.
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
To think of myself as a role model is extremely flattering, but I could never accept that, because Im just learning like everybody else.
PJ Harvey
Image
I don't like things to be handed to me on a plate that means nothing. I like to go through layers of unraveling and every time I listen to something, it makes me feel something different. Now I'm aware of the conflict that's going on, but at the time I just let what was happening happen.
PJ Harvey
Image
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
Image
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.

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.

Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
PJ Harvey
Image
I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
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.

People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
PJ Harvey
Image
I've always felt profoundly about what's going on in the world on a daily basis. What I hadn't felt was that I was at a point in my writing career where I could write about these things in songs and do it well.

I feel like Not For Long was one for me just because I got to work with two people that I looked up to...

I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.
