Grimes

It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you. ”

I'm tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway. ”

I'm tired of being considered vapid for liking pop music or caring about fashion as if these things inherently lack substance or as if the things I enjoy somehow make me a lesser person. ”

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. ”

It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector, and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me. ”

I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me. ”

The thing is, I really like working. If I sit around too much, I get really bad anxiety. ”

I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it. ”

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 feel like vocals are to music what portraits are to painting. They're the humanity. Landscapes are good and fine, but at the end of the day everyone loves the Mona Lisa. ”
