To think of myself as a role ...

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 106 quotes

I find it hard myself to feel...

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 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.

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.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

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

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

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.

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

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

I feel like I make a soundtra...

I feel like I make a soundtrack for the come up, and I feel like there's so many people that's trying to figure out how to chase their dreams, or that are in the process of chasing their dreams, so they connect with that. And then being a singer, you don't really get to touch on nothing either.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I grab an instrument to make ...

I grab an instrument to make my body a song, but I'm not a player as such, maybe a little more on guitar, but certainly not piano.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I like things that are beaten...

I like things that are beaten up, that have lived a little. I like things that are real. I like things that are made out of wood or string. I never feel very responsive to plastic machinery.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

Maybe you're a singer or not,...

Maybe you're a singer or not, but what taps into the soul leads to the heart, and that's really what I came away with, with the starting point for the record being that I could speak as a human being and feel things very deeply.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I don't hold onto anything, because it's a waste of energy to do so, really. There's nothing that I can do about the way people want to write about me. I just try and concentrate on my work and do that as well as I can.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

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.

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs.

It [ "Not For Long"] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.

I was working with D'Mile - he's amazing! And I don't know, it was like that guitar riff was so crazy to me, and so I think I was frustrated about something that happened earlier and I feel like I'm just a good guy, I don't cut people off, I don't really call people out when they do stuff that they should be called out on, and I'm just always the one being the bigger person. So, that day "Gangster" just came out. That's just how I feel in that day to day life.

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 106 quotes

I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

It's so much in me to want to...

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.
