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 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
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'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.
PJ Harvey
Image
I feel like Not For Long was one for me just because I got to work with two people that I looked up to...

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

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.

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.

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.

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.

I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
PJ Harvey
Image
Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.
PJ Harvey
Image
The devil wanders into my soul.
PJ Harvey
Image
I just started writing and writing for people. And then, like I guess after (a) year of getting some placements, I kinda got a shot to be an artist. Long story short I think, yeah.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The way I make music is unique to myself and the way I have lived my life - no one else would tell that story in the same way that I do.
PJ Harvey

When a poem might become a song, then certain parts are repeated and might become a refrain or a chorus, so they change in that way. But it's more the nature of the words and what they're saying that determines whether it's a poem or a song.
