More quotes by Grimes
Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place.
Grimes
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
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
My manager lives on my block four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
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
It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
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
Usually when I make music, in my head I'm like 'this isn't Grimes, this is just some other project that you can release later, so there's no pressure and it doesn't matter and no-one's ever gonna hear it'.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
