If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
GrimesThe groove can go for like three days - once I'm in it it will just keep going until I'm totally exhausted. But that's how I like to work, I like to be away from everyone and just get in the zone, and stay there for as long as I can keep it there.
GrimesI love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.
GrimesIt takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
