I'm Just Very Obsessed With Japanese Stuff

I Grew Up Going To Punk Shows, That Kind Of Thing - I Don't Wanna Make Pop Punk! - But I Like The Idea Of People Going Totally Crazy And It Being Really Intimate, Loud And Super-aggressive, But Combining That With Pop Music.

If You Tell Someone You're Doing Something Innovative, They'll Think You're Doing Something Innovative.

I Definitely See The Voice As An Instrument: It Makes Great Drums, Great Synth Pads, Great Everything. Vocals Can Be So Many Things, Like, "hey, I'm Michael Jackson, And This Is My Iconic Voice," Or A Choir Of People Sounding Like Mozart's Requiem. Mariah Carey Is My Favorite Singer Because Her Voice Sounds Utterly Groundless. It's Not Even A Human Voice; It Almost Sounds Mechanical.

I Think The Internet Is Kind Of Redefining What It Is To Be A Teenager. Because There's A Lot Of Media That's Aimed At Teenagers That Other People Are Getting Into. But, Conversely, Pornography Or Stuff That's Intended For Adults Is Completely Readily Available To Anyone, Like Teenagers.

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'.
