I just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into Gollum and my heart is broken.
GRIMESI just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into Gollum and my heart is broken.
GRIMESI have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don’t feel that way about anything else.
GRIMESI don’t even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
GRIMESWhen 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.
GRIMESI like performing, but I usually get really sick when I’m on tour, and it’s just hard.
GRIMESI prefer making videos to making music.
GRIMESFashion can be a really powerful tool, but it’s also a place where you can be totally humiliated and have your power taken from you.
GRIMESFrom an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn’t doing something creative.
GRIMESJust because something might not have a deep philosophical meaning doesn’t mean it’s not important or relevant.
GRIMESSometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
GRIMESI get offers to do huge-budget music videos with big production companies all the time, but I have no interest.
GRIMESI 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.”
GRIMESI think Canadians make a lot of music because we’re stuck inside all the time.
GRIMESIn America there’s lot of cool cities, but in Canada there’s, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they’re so expensive. Montreal is the only city that’s affordable but also has buses and culture.
GRIMESI feel like gender lines are changing. A couple of years ago, it wasn’t nearly as OK for guys to like girly-sounding music. But all of a sudden a lot of my guys friends who would like have been really disdainful of female singers are way more accepting.
GRIMESI’m just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
