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
It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.
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
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
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 don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
Especially with music, people want confidence.
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
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
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
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
Grimes
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
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
