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'.

More quotes by Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
I would never go to a studio. I need my space, you know what I mean? I need to be able to chain smoke and pace about, cry and like... spit. Just make noise, make a huge mess. I also feel like if I was concerned for the cost of the studio - like, 'this is costing 40 dollars an hour' - I wouldn't be able to work.
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
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
Grimes
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
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
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
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
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
I think you can hear, when you listen to someone's music, whether or not they're enjoying making it - it's so great to hear music where you can tell the person making it was just having a blast. That's really important to me as far as my process goes. That's probably why my music ends up being so poppy!
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
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
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 don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
