Quote

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.

I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
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
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
Image
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
Image
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
Grimes
Image
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
Image
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
Image
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
Image
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
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.
Grimes
Image
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
Image
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Image
I think a lot of music that's really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it's a commodified thing, so it can't be indie.
Grimes
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
