More quotes by Grimes

Image
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
Image
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
Image
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
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'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
Image
I feel like vocals are to music what portraits are to painting. They're the humanity. Landscapes are good and fine, but at the end of the day everyone loves the Mona Lisa.
Grimes
Image
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
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
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
Image
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
Image
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
Image
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
Image
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
