I was definitely a thespian of sorts in elementary school. I went to a real small private school and every year I participated in the talent shows and the school plays, all of 'em.

More quotes by Ariel Pink
I was been raised to believe I was an artist. I believed what my parents said and fulfilled it, like a prophecy.
Ariel Pink
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.
Ariel Pink
I've always wanted to do a movie, and I really feel the urge to do it.I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.
Ariel Pink
I always wanted to get into rock music so I could cover up my real personality, change my voice, and create a false self to hide behind.
Ariel Pink
During those formative times, I really didn't know what was going on, and I was sort of torn in a thousand different directions with how I felt about what I was doing.
Ariel Pink
For me, self-gratification eventually took a backseat to trying to do something collaborative with other people, to trying to make something new.
Ariel Pink
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.
Ariel Pink
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
The ideal is to live forever, right? Or to live right now and just be grateful that I feel good. I'm definitely grateful for every second that I'm alive. At this point in my life, I definitely take time out throughout the day to just stop and be like, Everything is cool. It's as good as it's gonna be, because it only gets worse.
Ariel Pink
I always want to be a member in the audience, and I want to hear it from their point of view and see it from their point of view so I can know if it's good. But that's just my issues, not a real problem.
Ariel Pink
I have a strong impulse to protect history and time and the lineage of events.
Ariel Pink
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.
Ariel Pink
I love having the impulsivity to change course. I think it's key to keeping things fresh.
Ariel Pink
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
The world is full of bands and bullshit, and if I'm doing a stupid art project like rock 'n' roll then I want to spare my audience as much as possible.
Ariel Pink
I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.
Ariel Pink
I do enjoy my solo time ... I want to stay home and do soundtracks and watch TV in my underwear with a keyboard on my lap and just be a couch potato.
Ariel Pink
Talk about a struggling artist having to work against enormous odds ... But I love movies so much, so I'm going to do it.
Ariel Pink
The universe is expanding, and every second that you're alive, the universe is bigger than it was a second before. There's nothing in front of us, exactly, other than the future, and there's no space for the size, the density of the universe to go. Because it's expanding at every point simultaneously.
Ariel Pink
I still have a very nonintellectual, nonjudgmental relationship with melody and the music as I hear it all in my head.
Ariel Pink
