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.

More quotes by 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
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 have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Grimes
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
I'm so sick of my own music that I don't know if I can edit another video, which involves hundreds of hours of listening to your own song again and again and again. It becomes so grating after a while.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
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
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 can't censor myself it's really important for me to say how I feel.
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
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
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
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Grimes
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
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
