More quotes by Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
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 have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
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!
Grimes
I prefer making videos to making music.
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
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 have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
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
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
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
