More quotes by Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
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
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
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
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
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
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
I think you can hear, when you listen to someone's music, whether or not they're enjoying making it - it's so great to hear music where you can tell the person making it was just having a blast. That's really important to me as far as my process goes. That's probably why my music ends up being so poppy!
Grimes
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
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 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
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
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
