More quotes by 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
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
PJ Harvey
I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
PJ Harvey
I think it does surprise me a bit when people have a very fixed idea of what I'm like, based upon the work that I do, which is something that is very separate.
PJ Harvey
I think that's always very valuable: to keep the mind open to receiving all sorts of information, which can then be used in my work, but also just as a human being.
PJ Harvey
If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.
PJ Harvey
I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.
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
[Writing] has helped me meet people.
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've always felt that I'm affected by the world, by the way we treat each other, by the way different countries treat each other. I've always been very affected by politics, society, but I never got to a place as a writer where I felt like I could begin to deal with such things and do it well.
PJ Harvey
Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
PJ Harvey
I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
PJ Harvey
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
PJ Harvey
I'm not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels.
PJ Harvey
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.
PJ Harvey
You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
PJ Harvey
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.
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.
