More quotes by 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 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
I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.
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 love having the impulsivity to change course. I think it's key to keeping things fresh.

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

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 everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.
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
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 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
Funnily enough, I feel the most free to be myself when I'm not doing my solo project. Whenever I'm in a situation when it's a side thing or it's something not so infused with my ego. When I'm all over everything, it's a big responsibility and half the time leaves me in some weird nether state of insecurity and doubt.
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
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
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
