More quotes by Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
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
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
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!
Grimes
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me witch house.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
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
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
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
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.
Grimes
