I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book.

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.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

If you want to be good at anyt...

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.

The devil wanders into my soul.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

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

What we are fed through the media I do not accept, unless you see it with your own eyes you cant trust anything.

I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.

I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

Making me into a role model is...

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

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

To think of myself as a role m...

To think of myself as a role model is extremely flattering, but I could never accept that, because Im just learning like everybody else.

I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets,

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

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 106 quotes

And all of these writers offer...

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.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I don't think that much anymor...

I don't think that much anymore in terms of 'write a record, record a record, tour a record,' because in my own mind, things have changed, in that I'm just an ongoing artist. I'm not quite sure what the next project needs to be until it presents himself, and then I know. I just follow dutifully while I'm being led.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I firmly disbelieve that one has to be a tortured soul to write good music.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I work on words quite separate...

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.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I'd want to read the stories t...

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.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I'm not a writer where I feel ...

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.

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.

PJ Harvey 106 quotes

I'm finding that writing poetr...

I'm finding that writing poetry is strengthening my songwriting, because you're learning to make a piece of writing work on a page with nothing else. I was also finding within poetry I felt a lot more free to write about very different matters, to write about social issues or things that are going on around me.
