Lately I've been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.

More quotes by 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
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
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
I always wanted to be really experimental.
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
In America there's lot of cool cities, but in Canada there's, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they're so expensive. Montreal is the only city that's affordable but also has buses and culture.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
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 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
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
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
I want to say my life inspires my lyrics, but I also try to abstract them as much as possible because I don't want to refer to my life explicitly. I'm definitely really embarrassed by my lyrics.
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 like creating beauty out of scary things.
