More quotes by Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
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!
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
In America there's lot of cool cities, but in Canada there's, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they're so expensive. Montreal is the only city that's affordable but also has buses and culture.
Grimes
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
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.
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
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
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
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 just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
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'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
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
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
