“Do you know I used to pride myself on the fact that I'd never booked a...” — Ariel Pink Quote

Do you know I used to pride myself on the fact that I'd never booked a show in my life, but that I'd played so many because I'd been invited?

R Stevie Moore was obviously a huge influence and is still a very big influence in my life.

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.

I'm in love with Ariana Grande - she's got a very curious personality; I hear she loves Freddy Krueger, and I love Freddy Krueger, which makes me feel like we'd be perfect for each other.

My career is a burden, but I can't just fade out like a pathetic sore loser. More often than not, I'm just making a fool of myself for the hundredth time, and that wasn't part of the plan, initially. I'd be happier not having any kind of public presence whatsoever and just hiding behind the sleeves of the CD.

I want everyone to understand the importance of cervical screening and get one booked in if they are overdue.

We have disappointments all the time in the business, and I've lost way more projects than I've booked. I've learned from every opportunity and have been chosen for some really great projects!

In fact, one was so booked out we went from March and were to go till November, but the pantomime was booked so they transferred the show to the Prince of Wales Theatre because it was so packed out, and it ran on from there.

I want to build a brand for myself and get booked for being me, while others will get booked for being them.
