More quotes by 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
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
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
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
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
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
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
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
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'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
Grimes
