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.

More quotes by Grimes
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.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
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.
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
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
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 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 don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
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
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
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 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
Especially with music, people want confidence.
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.
