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 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.

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

Ariel Pink
Confidence was never in short supply in my case. If anything, I think I overshot the mark with confidence way too early in my career, and gradually, it's about just getting more humble and wanting to sit down more.
Ariel Pink
I love having the impulsivity to change course. I think it's key to keeping things fresh.
Ariel Pink
I think about music in the way that I heard music as a kid - like, Oh my god, there's this weird rubbery ball of undulating things.
Ariel Pink
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.
Ariel Pink
I look suspicious if I dress in sort of benign clothes, going to the airport.
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
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.
Ariel Pink
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.
