Zitat des Tages von Grimes:
I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.
I'm against spending money to record.
The thing is, I really like working. If I sit around too much, I get really bad anxiety.
When I'm making a song that's very Grimes, it just feels very insular and it feels weird to have someone else do something on it.
There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
I get offers to do huge-budget music videos with big production companies all the time, but I have no interest.
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
I don't own anything designer.
I'm not interested in making art unless I'm totally freaked out and worried people are going to hate it.
I'm not good at being, like, a sexy girl.
As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.
The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.
You rarely find someone who sings really well and who produces really well; it's a problem, and I just think it's a missing link in the music scene.
I think I have serious latent Catholic guilt issues.
My favorite music is never the music that anyone else likes, and other people's favorite songs are always my least favorite.
I like to aestheticize every possible thing that can be aestheticized.
I want to make an a cappella record to release for free.
I start a lot of songs and throw them out because the energy is not right. It's almost like the file becomes cursed. I have to delete it.
My dream job would be sitting in a room, cranking out hits for Rihanna.
I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
I think my sound is post-Internet.
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
I'm a very unhealthy person, and Montreal is very cold, and I'm usually sick when I'm there.
I truly love 'Gangnam Style.' I guess it's a meme. I feel like it's one of the few times where the meme and the quality combines nicely.
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.
I've always been very intense about everything I do.
There are a lot of musicians I've met on Twitter where it was like, 'Hey, I like your music' - and then I ended up meeting them and it turned into a friendship.
