Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
Image
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.

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
Image
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Image
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
Grimes
Image
I always wanted to be really experimental.

I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.

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.

I listen to a lot of medieval music.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
Image
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
Image
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
Image
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
Image
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
