If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.

More quotes by Grimes
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
I think a lot of music that's really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it's a commodified thing, so it can't be indie.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
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
It's important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you're a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.
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
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
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
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
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
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 can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
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 like creating beauty out of scary things.
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
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
