More quotes by Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
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
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
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
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
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
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
It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
