I’m tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.
GRIMESI’m tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.
GRIMESI don’t have any money to hire actors. I just need to get people who are going to do a good job being themselves.
GRIMESI believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it’s the only thing that I can really know, I guess.
GRIMESEspecially with music, people want confidence.
GRIMESI write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it’s dark.
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 want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
GRIMESIf painters could be compared to filmmakers, Bosch is the Hype Williams of renaissance painters. With Bosch, there’s always a narrative that is very nonlinear – and that’s the essence of a good music video.
GRIMESUgly girls generally don’t become successful in music. And it sucks because it’s a standard that just exists.
GRIMESThe most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they’re having a good time.
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 like going crazy. And not just for art – I like extremes in general.
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 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.
