More quotes by Grimes
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at 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
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
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 can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
I grew up with four brothers, and in the back of my head I feel pretty masculine. It's always funny when I hear recordings of my voice, because it's so deep when I hear it in my head.
Grimes
I was raised in a Catholic household and went to a Catholic school, and my childhood brain perceived medieval Catholicism as an action movie: There's this crazy omnipresent guy who can destroy you at any moment.
Grimes
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
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
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
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
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
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 like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
