It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.

More quotes by 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 just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
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
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 write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
Grimes
I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.
Grimes
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.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
Grimes
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
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 going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
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
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 don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
