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

I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.

Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.

If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
Image
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.

Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
Image
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.

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.

It's important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you're a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.

Lately I've been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.
Grimes

I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Image
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
Image
I would never go to a studio. I need my space, you know what I mean? I need to be able to chain smoke and pace about, cry and like... spit. Just make noise, make a huge mess. I also feel like if I was concerned for the cost of the studio - like, 'this is costing 40 dollars an hour' - I wouldn't be able to work.

I don't own anything designer.
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.
Grimes
Image
I think the internet is kind of redefining what it is to be a teenager. Because there's a lot of media that's aimed at teenagers that other people are getting into. But, conversely, pornography or stuff that's intended for adults is completely readily available to anyone, like teenagers.

I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.

I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
