PJ Harvey Quotes

I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I’m myself, and if I don’t, then I give nothing Picture Quote #1

I work on words quite separately to music. They’re both ongoing, and I don’t ever feel like I’m working in a cycle in that respect, because it’s every day anyway, no matter what I’m doing. Then I get to a point when I’ve collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not Picture Quote #1

I’d want to read the stories that I’d written, I’d want to show the drawings that I made. That was just purely natural. So I knew I wanted to go into the arts in some way and that I’d want to show that work in some way Picture Quote #1

I’m not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don’t. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I’m concerned with Picture Quote #1

It’s so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It’s just inherent. Therefore I keep reaching for instruments I don’t particularly know how to play, and then I become excited. That gives me energy to want to make new things, and it forces me to hear things in new ways, which then can only help to say things in a new way Picture Quote #1

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress Picture Quote #1

If you want to be good at anything, you have to work hard at it. It doesn’t just fall from the sky. I work every day at trying to improve my writing, and I really enjoy it. Nothing fascinates me more than putting words together, and seeing how a collection of words can produce quite a profound effect Picture Quote #1

Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life Picture Quote #1

What we are fed through the media I do not accept, unless you see it with your own eyes you can’t trust anything Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we’ll float. Take life as it comes Picture Quote #1

As I grew older, I actually was prepared to go into fine arts school and do a degree. That was what I was actually settled upon when I was offered a record deal Picture Quote #1

Maybe I’m just purely lucky. If I’ve come up against obstacles I’ve always found another way around it Picture Quote #1

I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it’s very physical Picture Quote #1

Well, I don’t really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work Picture Quote #1

I don’t loathe interviews, I’m just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know folk music growing up, no. It’s something I’ve come to study, really, because I think there’s so much to learn from traditional music in the sense of the way music began as a way of communication, the traveling storyteller, the bard, the minstrels Picture Quote #1

I see men come and go, but there’ll be one who’ll collect my soul Picture Quote #1

If PJ Harvey ever came to town I’d definitely go try to go see her Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book Picture Quote #1

We also listen to PJ Harvey; a lot of driving music. You need something a little more relaxing in the car Picture Quote #1
