More quotes by Grimes
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
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 want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
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 can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
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
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
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 think the internet is kind of redefining what it is to be a teenager. Because there's a lot of media that's aimed at teenagers that other people are getting into. But, conversely, pornography or stuff that's intended for adults is completely readily available to anyone, like teenagers.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
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
