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

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

I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.

It 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.

If you look at the way people behave at shows, icons are now musicians; they are the people that we worship.

I only work at night, generally. Usually when I work [during the day] I'll black out the windows or something.

My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me "witch house."
