Grimes Music Quotations

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.

Music is a religion to me and my friends.

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 first started out, I was making really slow, psychedelic ambient music because it was all I could do.

My favorite music is never the music that anyone else likes, and other people's favorite songs are always my least favorite.

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

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.

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

The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.

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

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