Image
I don't hold onto anything, because it's a waste of energy to do so, really. There's nothing that I can do about the way people want to write about me. I just try and concentrate on my work and do that as well as I can.
PJ Harvey
Image
The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.
PJ Harvey
Image
I do write a lot of prose. It's not disciplined enough yet that it's actually become stories, or short stories. The idea of writing a novel seems impossible.
PJ Harvey
Image
I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey
Image
The devil wanders into my soul.
PJ Harvey
Image
Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You shouldn't separate the piece from the way it's intended. I always feel like words shouldn't be unraveled from the music. They're all linked so much together.
PJ Harvey
Image
People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
I like things that are beaten up, that have lived a little. I like things that are real. I like things that are made out of wood or string. I never feel very responsive to plastic machinery.
PJ Harvey
Image
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.
PJ Harvey
Image
I always wanted to be an artist. I think I was just waiting on somebody to approve me and be like, Oh, okay, you should be an artist, you know 'cause it wasn't until I stopped looking for approval that I could actually do it.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
[Writing] has helped me meet people.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
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.
