More quotes by Grimes

I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
Grimes
Image
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
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 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'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 don't own anything designer.
Grimes
Image
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
Image
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
Image
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
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 want to say my life inspires my lyrics, but I also try to abstract them as much as possible because I don't want to refer to my life explicitly. I'm definitely really embarrassed by my lyrics.
Grimes
Image
I would never go to a studio. I need my space, you know what I mean? I need to be able to chain smoke and pace about, cry and like... spit. Just make noise, make a huge mess. I also feel like if I was concerned for the cost of the studio - like, 'this is costing 40 dollars an hour' - I wouldn't be able to work.
Grimes
Image
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
Image
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
Image
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
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

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.
