More quotes by 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.
PJ Harvey
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.
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
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
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'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
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
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
PJ Harvey
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
In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.
PJ Harvey
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
Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.
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
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
The craft, the writing of a song, is about creating a story, a life story, a world within three minutes, but that's the frame, if you like, the picture frame. That fascinates me.
PJ Harvey
I'm a very private person, so obviously I don't enjoy talking about more personal matters. But at the same time I care very much about my work and I would like people to know that it exists. So I appreciate that there's a meeting point, where I would like people to know about the work that I'm doing, and that requires me to talk about it.
PJ Harvey
But even when I do give interviews, I always come across as such a completely different person. It seems like there's no controlling it anyway.
PJ Harvey
I feel like it's very important that I'm doing what I'm doing, and I want to keep honoring that and try and do it as honestly as I can.
PJ Harvey
I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.
PJ Harvey
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
