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 feel like vocals are to music what portraits are to painting. They're the humanity. Landscapes are good and fine, but at the end of the day everyone loves the Mona Lisa.
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
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
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 don't own anything designer.
Grimes
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
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 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
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
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.
Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
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 write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
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
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
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
