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.

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!

By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.

I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.

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.

Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.

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'.

I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.

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.

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.

Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.

I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.

I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
