Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.

Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.

Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today

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

Even though I really admire what Beyonce does, and she's probably got one of the best live shows in the world - honestly! - that's so not my style.

If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.

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

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

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 just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into Gollum and my heart is broken.

I don't have any money to hire actors. I just need to get people who are going to do a good job being themselves.

I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.

I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.

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

Especially with music, people want confidence.

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