Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
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.

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.

As far as in my adult life, it kinda started (with) writing first 'cause I went to school in Nashville. I mean, not Nashville but close to Nashville, and I met my managers in L.A. at a convention randomly. And then, it kinda just started from there. And then, I got my publishing deal.

People want to build musicians into mythical beings.
PJ Harvey

The devil wanders into my soul.
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 feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
PJ Harvey
Image
It [ Not For Long] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.
PJ Harvey
Image
I think you have to be very careful getting the balance right if you're going to talk about grand themes like war, death and nationhood. You need to use the right language or don't do it at all.
PJ Harvey
Image
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
Image
Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
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
We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.
PJ Harvey

I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.
