More quotes by Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
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
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
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
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.
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
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
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
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
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
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn't want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
