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.

More quotes by 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 think one of the reasons I'm successful as a musician is that the first like 30 shows I played, I played with no monitors standing in front of guitar amps in a shitty, smoky warehouse where people were screaming and wasted, knocking over my gear. So shows after that seem pretty easy!
Grimes
I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
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 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
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
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me witch house.
Grimes
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
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
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
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
