More quotes by Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
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
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
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Grimes
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
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 don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
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
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
Grimes
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
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 can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
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
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
