Important Mean Philosophical
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.

Artist Block People
I definitely see the voice as an instrument: It makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything.

Instrument Pads Voice
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.

I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn’t necessarily be the person who makes it.
GRIMES

Persons Sentimental
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.

I don’t even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.

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.

I always wanted to be really experimental.

I like going crazy. And not just for art – I like extremes in general.
GRIMES

Crazy General Going
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
GRIMES

Made Most Music Video
