Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.

Grimes

I’m just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.

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

Hard Performing Sick
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn’t want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
GRIMES

Aggressive Bangs Cute Dresses
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 only work at night, generally. Usually when I work [during the day] I’ll black out the windows or something.
GRIMES

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

Good Looks People Times
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
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.
GRIMES

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

Fashion Grimes Want
Especially with music, people want confidence.
GRIMES

Confidence People Want
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 like going crazy. And not just for art – I like extremes in general.
GRIMES

Crazy General Going
Ugly girls generally don’t become successful in music. And it sucks because it’s a standard that just exists.
GRIMES

Girl Successful Ugly
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
