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'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
I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.
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 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
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
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 like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
Grimes
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.
Grimes
If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
Grimes
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
Grimes
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Grimes
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn't want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
