More quotes by 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
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
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
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.
Grimes

Grimes
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.
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
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
I prefer making videos to making music.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
