people want
Especially with music, people want confidence.
play people want
It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.
wanted
I always wanted to be really experimental.
fashion want sci-fi
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
inspire trying want
I want to say my life inspires my lyrics, but I also try to abstract them as much as possible because I don't want to refer to my life explicitly. I'm definitely really embarrassed by my lyrics.
order want moral
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
driving people wanting
I'm actually not a particularly negative person, but I feel like most things are better when they're not actualized. The motivation that comes from wanting something is so much more driving of people than actually getting it.
expectations people want
Most people see what they want to, or at least what they expect to.
children answers want
Children can ask what adults don't dare to because we don't want to admit we're scared and we don't really want to hear the answers.
animal collective hearing loss permanent seen suffered
I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
beings curve human learning music natural obscure
The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.
I've always been very intense about everything I do.
music
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
