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.

More quotes by 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 don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place.
Grimes
I can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
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
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.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
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
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 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
