I think you can hear, when you listen to someone's music, whether or not they're enjoying making it - it's so great to hear music where you can tell the person making it was just having a blast. That's really important to me as far as my process goes. That's probably why my music ends up being so poppy!

Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.

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

I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
Image
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
Grimes

I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

I like creating beauty out of scary things.

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.

I prefer making videos to making music.

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.

Most of my music videos were made for under $200.

Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.

I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.

If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
Image
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.

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
Image
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Image
My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me witch house.

I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
