From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn’t doing something creative.

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

Persons Sentimental
Especially with music, people want confidence.

Confidence People Want
I 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.”

Assuming People Thinking
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.

Deliver Shiver Song
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.

Crazy Moving People
When 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.

Facts Need People Reasonable Thinking
I always wanted to be really experimental.
GRIMES

Experimental Really Wanted
I just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into Gollum and my heart is broken.

Broken Care Heart
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don’t feel that way about anything else.
GRIMES

The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they’re having a good time.
GRIMES

Good Looks People Times
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

Crazy Sound Stars
Basically, I’m really impressionable and have no sense of consistency in anything I do.
