From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
Image
I prefer making videos to making music.
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 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 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
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
Image
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
Image
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
Image
I don't own anything designer.

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.

Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
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!

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 don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
Image
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
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
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
Image
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
