GRIMESSometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
GRIMESBasically, I’m really impressionable and have no sense of consistency in anything I do.
GRIMESFrom an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn’t doing something creative.
GRIMESI just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into Gollum and my heart is broken.
GRIMESI only work at night, generally. Usually when I work [during the day] I’ll black out the windows or something.
GRIMESI always wanted to be really experimental.
GRIMESLately 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.
GRIMESI don’t even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
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.
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 want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
GRIMESI like going crazy. And not just for art – I like extremes in general.
GRIMESIf I think about what other people are thinking when I’m making music, I just can’t do it. It’s too withheld – I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
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’m just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
