As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.

More quotes by Grimes
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
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.
Grimes

Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
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
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
I prefer making videos to making music.
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 went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
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
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
