Grimes-isms to live by

“I don’t want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living. I don’t want my words to be taken out of context. I dont want to be infantilized because I refuse to be sexualized. I don’t want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction. I don’t want to live in a world where i’m gonna have to start employing body guards because this kind of behavior is so commonplace and accepted and I’m pissed that when I express concern over my own safety it’s often ignored until people see firsthand what happens and then they apologize for not taking me seriously after the fact.” – Claire Boucher (Grimes)
