I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.

Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
Image
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
Image
It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
Grimes
Image
I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.
Grimes
Image
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
Image
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
Image
I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.
Grimes
Image
I think one of the reasons I'm successful as a musician is that the first like 30 shows I played, I played with no monitors standing in front of guitar amps in a shitty, smoky warehouse where people were screaming and wasted, knocking over my gear. So shows after that seem pretty easy!

By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
Image
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
Grimes
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place.
Grimes
Image
If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
Grimes
Image
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
Image
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
Image
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
Image
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.

If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
