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.

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.

We just kind of lost our way....

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

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 106 quotes

You can sing a very aggressiv...

You can sing a very aggressive word in such a way that it's very funny. You can change words, completely turn them around on their head so that they mean exactly the opposite of what they are written down. There are endless possibilities which I think Diamanda Gal?s is doing already. She turns everything upside down by the way she sings it. She makes you feel nauseous or horrified or ridiculous just by her voice. I think that's an incredible power.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

You know, two people can say ...

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

Ever since time began: What s...

Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.

I long ago learned that you can't expect people to interpret the songs in the way they had meant for you, as the writer.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

Any of these contemporary war situations, whether civilian or soldier on either side - that's what I was interested in. The people who are being affected. Not so much the political speak at the top of the food chain, but the people who are affected by it on the ground.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

You know if I see a work that...

You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I knew what I didn't want to ...

I knew what I didn't want to do- that's always my starting point. The starting point is always that I don't want to repeat myself. Or I try my best not to, with varying degrees of success.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I just love having no clothes...

I just love having no clothes on outside, and the only time to do that is when the sun's shining. It's a wonderful sensation to not have any clothes on.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

In the past members of my family on both my mother's and father's side have fought in the war, in the first and second World Wars. Unfortunately, they're dead and I wasn't able to speak to them, but that was in our family history too.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I think I'm a maker of songs,...

I think I'm a maker of songs, and songs are like films or a picture: You put them over there, and they have nothing to do with you.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

The first song I heard from m...

The first song I heard from me was Meek Mill ["I Don't Know"], it was his first single before he went (to jail). I remember the first time I heard it was like eleven thirty at night, and I was like, "Yo, this is crazy!" And, I was smiling from ear to ear.

Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

Well, I'm quite a self-deprecating person.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

Folk music was to strengthen ...

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.
