More quotes by 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 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
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
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
If you come at the record feeling really happy and optimistic, it can be incredibly beautiful and uplifting, and if you come at it in a bleak moment, it can feel like a very dark place to share. It's all down to the listener.
PJ Harvey
I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.
PJ Harvey
I find it hard myself to feel justified to sing in a very politically direct way about war or social conditions because I feel so ignorant of a lot of it.
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
It [ Not For Long] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.
PJ Harvey
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
[I] try to do both because the writing for me, to be a new artist, the writing is gonna pay the bills.
PJ Harvey
I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
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. 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.
PJ Harvey
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
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
My mom is a sculptress.
PJ Harvey
Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
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
Love for money is my sin, any man calls, I'll let him in.
PJ Harvey
At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.
