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

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
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
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.

The universe is expanding, and every second that you're alive, the universe is bigger than it was a second before.

Ariel Pink
I love having the impulsivity to change course. I think it's key to keeping things fresh.
Ariel Pink
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.
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
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.
Ariel Pink
I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.
Ariel Pink
The first half of high school, I had a girlfriend, and then the second half I got to know these guys who would just get stoned and jam. I had struck the goth thing by then, but I still thought of myself as Ian Curtis or something.
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
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 tried to just do things like make some money, be responsible, help out other artists who I see have had a similar path.
Ariel Pink
I look suspicious if I dress in sort of benign clothes, going to the airport.
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
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.
