More quotes by 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
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don't respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.
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 write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
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'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
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
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
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 want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
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'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
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 want to say my life inspires my lyrics, but I also try to abstract them as much as possible because I don't want to refer to my life explicitly. I'm definitely really embarrassed by my lyrics.
