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

Usually when I make music, in my head I'm like 'this isn't Grimes, this is just some other project that you can release later, so there's no pressure and it doesn't matter and no-one's ever gonna hear it'.

Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn't want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.

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

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

I definitely see the voice as an instrument: It makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything.

I don't know if I would ever have costume changes - usually I just end up taking off my shoes, I get so sweaty, and... I just need to be comfortable.
