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

Especially with music, people want confidence.
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
Image
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.

Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.

Grimes
Image
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
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
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.
Grimes
Image
Usually when I make music, in my head I'm like 'this isn't Grimes, this is just some other project that you can release later, so there's no pressure and it doesn't matter and no-one's ever gonna hear it'.
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.

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