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.

Grimes

I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
GRIMES

Fashion Grimes Want
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I’m on tour, and it’s just hard.
GRIMES

Hard Performing Sick
Fashion 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.
GRIMES

Fashion Powerful Taken
I 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.
GRIMES

Couple Female Guy
I only work at night, generally. Usually when I work [during the day] I’ll black out the windows or something.
GRIMES

Black Night Window
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.”
GRIMES

Assuming People Thinking
Just because something might not have a deep philosophical meaning doesn’t mean it’s not important or relevant.
GRIMES

Important Mean Philosophical
I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it’s dark.
GRIMES

Dark Winter Writing
It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it’s really important for me to not break the groove.
GRIMES

Four Hours Important
I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it’s the only thing that I can really know, I guess.
GRIMES

Believe Humans Mind
I prefer making videos to making music.
GRIMES

Making Music Video
I find it really hard to throw myself into something artistically where I’m making up a whole character and finding something for that character to do.
GRIMES

Character Findings Whole
I just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into Gollum and my heart is broken.
GRIMES

Broken Care Heart
I’m just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
GRIMES

Country Obsessed Stuff
If 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.
GRIMES

Facts Need People Reasonable Thinking
I don’t even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
GRIMES

Hate People Shoes
