More quotes by Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
Usually when I make music, in my head I'm like 'this isn't Grimes, this is just some other project that you can release later, so there's no pressure and it doesn't matter and no-one's ever gonna hear it'.
Grimes
My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me witch house.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
I was raised in a Catholic household and went to a Catholic school, and my childhood brain perceived medieval Catholicism as an action movie: There's this crazy omnipresent guy who can destroy you at any moment.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.
Grimes
When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don't respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
