I'm not trained in music.

I've always been such a nerd.

I don't own anything designer.

Usually I perform with dancers.

I'm a very nervous, shy person.

I listen to a lot of medieval music.

I'm against spending money to record.

I prefer making videos to making music.

I'm not good at being, like, a sexy girl.

I always wanted to be really experimental.

I love humanity, I love the way people look

I like creating beauty out of scary things.

Especially with music, people want confidence.

I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.

If I'm a bad mood, I can't go on stage and smile.

Most of my music videos were made for under $200.

I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.

I've always been very intense about everything I do.

I think I have serious latent Catholic guilt issues.

Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.

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

I want to make an a cappella record to release for free.

I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.

I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.

The last thing I think about when I'm making music is its reception.

I like to aestheticize every possible thing that can be aestheticized.

I can't censor myself; it's really important for me to say how I feel.

I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.

I was incredibly unpopular in high school but also extremely notorious.

My dream job would be sitting in a room, cranking out hits for Rihanna.

I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.

I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.

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

If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.

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

From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

My set can get really screamo and aggressive, or it can be ambient and Enya-esque.

From an early age, I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

When I'm making something I need it to be catchy - I need it to hit the sweet spot.

It's interesting to be a front person who is controlling the majority of the sound.

I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.

Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.

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

I'm not, like, a natural performer. It's sort of a thing that I've had to learn to do.

I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!

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

The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.

I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.

My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.

I'm a very unhealthy person, and Montreal is very cold, and I'm usually sick when I'm there.
