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
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.
Grimes
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.
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
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
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
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
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
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 think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
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
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
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
