I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
Image
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
Image
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
Image
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
Image
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
Image
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.
Grimes
Image
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
Grimes
Image
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
Image
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
Image
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
Image
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
Image
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 going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
Image
If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
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 have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
