More quotes by Ariel Pink
I love having the impulsivity to change course. I think it's key to keeping things fresh.
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
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
I'm a product of my environment.
Ariel Pink

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