More quotes by Grimes
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
I'm so sick of my own music that I don't know if I can edit another video, which involves hundreds of hours of listening to your own song again and again and again. It becomes so grating after a while.
Grimes
I think a lot of music that's really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it's a commodified thing, so it can't be indie.
Grimes
My manager lives on my block four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
I want to say my life inspires my lyrics, but I also try to abstract them as much as possible because I don't want to refer to my life explicitly. I'm definitely really embarrassed by my lyrics.
Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
I grew up with four brothers, and in the back of my head I feel pretty masculine. It's always funny when I hear recordings of my voice, because it's so deep when I hear it in my head.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
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
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
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
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
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
