PJ Harvey In Her Own Words
'Red is obviously such a stimulating color, and it has so many connotations.''When I was young, I had idols that I thought were wonderful. I wanted to be just like them.'
'Ideas for songs can come from something as simple as a photograph and letting my imagination run wild on an old photograph that I found, or to a film that I have seen or to just most of the time, just daily walking through life and keeping your eyes open.'
'People have this idea of me being some kind of monster, and that's the complete opposite of who I am.'
'Before I record for real, I know pretty much exactly how I want them to feel.'
'I firmly disbelieve that one has to be a tortured soul to write good music.'
'Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.'
'People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.'
