I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
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 write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
Image
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
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
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
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Image
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.

If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.

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 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 have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
Image
I think the internet is kind of redefining what it is to be a teenager. Because there's a lot of media that's aimed at teenagers that other people are getting into. But, conversely, pornography or stuff that's intended for adults is completely readily available to anyone, like teenagers.

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.

Especially with music, people want confidence.
