I always want to do something that just sort of fits the mood. It's supposed to help the song, it's not supposed to take away from the song or re-contextualize it. I always feel like the less you make it a conceptual territorial debut, the better.

At 35, I'm thinking, Oh, I don't have any of that initial inspiration that I had before, all that angst. I always thought I would burn out very quickly.

I still have a very nonintellectual, nonjudgmental relationship with melody and the music as I hear it all in my head.

You marry your friends when you stay with your friends. It's hard enough to find a good roommate, let alone a good person you can live with and fall in love with at the same time. You might as well just take your roommate, if you can find one, and marry them. I mean, if you can find somebody that doesn't drive you crazy, I would say marry that.

I look suspicious if I dress in sort of benign clothes, going to the airport.
Ariel Pink
Image
Everything comes with hard work. You never get to stop working. I don't see myself ever getting comfortable enough to not have to worry about working.
Ariel Pink
Image
I remember being very psyched for our first tours, despite not knowing about the endless stream of situations and setbacks that we'd face.
Ariel Pink
Image
I love having the impulsivity to change course. I think it's key to keeping things fresh.
Ariel Pink
Image
From day one, I was already famous in my own head. It didn't take anything to make me feel that way. I know I'm totally not famous. I mean, it just depends on your perspective.
Ariel Pink
Image
I tried to just do things like make some money, be responsible, help out other artists who I see have had a similar path.

Image
As for performing live, I just never imagined how it would work out for good reason, because it doesn't just work out - not the way you think it will. It's a chance that you take.

I'm a product of my environment.

For me, self-gratification eventually took a backseat to trying to do something collaborative with other people, to trying to make something new.

I've kind of gotten more timid. I used to be fearless - at a certain point I didn't care about what anybody thought. I had all the answers and I could have been as bad as I wanted to be. But nowadays I just want to be good and make people happy.

That's really what keeps me playing live - appreciation. And I guess I've made a lot of wiggle room for myself to try different things and discover what I'm doing, and the audience accepts it.
