I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
Image
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.
Grimes
Image
As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.
Grimes
Image
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
Image
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
Grimes
Image
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
Image
Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place.
Grimes
Image
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Image
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
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
Image
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
Image
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
