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

Grimes

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
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 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 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
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.

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

It’s important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you’re a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.

I think Canadians make a lot of music because we’re stuck inside all the time.
GRIMES

Music Stuck Thinking
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 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
I always wanted to be really experimental.
GRIMES

Experimental Really Wanted
Especially with music, people want confidence.

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

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