Zitat des Tages von GRiZ:
Piano was my first instrument, but it wasn't the instrument that I showed the most proficiency on.
Computers are really patient. They can sit there all day. It's a totally different situation dealing with humans. They can be tired or overly excited.
Stay in school and band, kids! It had its nerdy moments, and I always felt like I wanted to do something more with it.
I think it would be super, hella cool to hop into a cab & hear my song on the radio - like, 'Yeah!' - and also be like, 'Who is this Griz guy? He's horrible.' That'd be really cool.
I love playing live and creating these records that people are so into.
When I was a kid, I was a really bad collaborator. I was pretty introverted.
The environment of San Francisco has so much history to it that I really appreciate. Musically, socially, and culturally. There's this new culture of people; it's a crazy place to be.
We just love Denver. The love and support from people here is amazing.
When you first start photographing a show or being into photography, you might think it's cool to see people with their phones, like, 'It's so novel; everyone cares about this moment so much,' but then it becomes... trite, y'know, and shallow. I think the best moments of my life have been spent without phones.
I have always been very interested in thinking deeply about things. I do this a lot.
There are always safe spaces. You can be a beacon for other people who are struggling. It's hard to put your heart out there and put it in other peoples' hands. But the receiving end is gentle.
Most of the people that work for me are my friends, and I'd like to keep it that way.
I have a top 10 list of my favorite movies of all time, and just for the sake of not having my top 5 be entirely Miyazaki films, I had to pick one. So, right now, my favorite Miyazaki film is probably 'Princess Mononoke.'
You need to be able to communicate your feelings. We need to be able to do that to feel empowered.
I love what I do, and I do it 24/7, and it hurts my relationships very often, but it's worth it.
I don't need more money. I don't need that to be happy.
I feel like music is sort of therapy for myself.
I was surprised how supportive my family and friends were in my coming out, and it gave and still gives me hope.
Fear comes from personal self-acceptance and not the self.
Everyone wants to grow, but I'm not trying to reinvent myself anytime soon.
My parents took a fairly liberal approach at raising me, always encouraging me to be creative and free-thinking.
There was so much pressure to fit in, I tried to force myself to be like everyone else. The last thing any teen wants is to be 'uncool.'
My life is my music, so how can I stop? I put 100 percent into my career. I keep this flow going, and that's important.
Always focus on the music first. That's the big thing. Staying true to making good music and not sacrificing that for anything.
The most important thing, to me is the intention of where things come from, like, why did you use it? What were the intentions of what you did? And if the intention is good, the intention is pure, then everything will turn out good.
