My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.

I get offers to do huge-budget music videos with big production companies all the time, but I have no interest.

I love pop music, but I also love noise music, IDM - anything really, I get something out of most kinds of music. I just need to enjoy the process.

Whenever I'm making music I'm always waiting for the shivers to happen - that's an important thing for me.

When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don't respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.

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

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