More quotes by Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
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
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
In America there's lot of cool cities, but in Canada there's, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they're so expensive. Montreal is the only city that's affordable but also has buses and culture.
Grimes
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
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 don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
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 feel like vocals are to music what portraits are to painting. They're the humanity. Landscapes are good and fine, but at the end of the day everyone loves the Mona Lisa.
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
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
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
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
