It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.
Quote by -Grimes
I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.
Quote by -Grimes
I need to be able to work for 20 or 30 hours in one go in complete darkness, alone with just the computer glow.
Quote by -Grimes
If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
Quote by -Grimes
My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
Quote by -Grimes
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
Quote by -Grimes
The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.
Quote by -Grimes
I truly love 'Gangnam Style.' I guess it's a meme. I feel like it's one of the few times where the meme and the quality combines nicely.
Quote by -Grimes
I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
Quote by -Grimes
I'm tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.
Quote by -Grimes
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
Quote by -Grimes
As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.
Quote by -Grimes
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
Quote by -Grimes
I start a lot of songs and throw them out because the energy is not right. It's almost like the file becomes cursed. I have to delete it.
Quote by -Grimes
I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it's the only thing that I can really know, I guess.
Quote by -Grimes
There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Grimes
You don't just have to be influenced by rock, or goth, anymore. It's okay to say, 'My influences are Tin Pan music from Bali and Rihanna.' There are still so many combinations that haven't been done yet.
Quote by -Grimes
It's obviously funny to be a meme, so I could be down with it in that regard, but it also belittles one's art.
Quote by -Grimes
The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.
Quote by -Grimes
I'm tired of being considered vapid for liking pop music or caring about fashion as if these things inherently lack substance or as if the things I enjoy somehow make me a lesser person.
Quote by -Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
