Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
Image
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
Image
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.

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.

If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.

It's important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you're a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.

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.

It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.

I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
Image
I think a lot of music that's really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it's a commodified thing, so it can't be indie.
Grimes
Image
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
Image
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
Image
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
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
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
Image
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
Image
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.

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

I listen to a lot of medieval music.
