When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.
When you have a dark side, nothing is ever as good as it seems.
There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I'm in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.
Record companies, I found out, can put out compilations without your permission.
My stage show is raw and unpredictable.
My parents divorced, and I didn't have much of a daddy growing up.
In the late '90s, R&B was dominant in the radio, and the white kids were taking it mainstream.
I've always felt like the underdog, and I'm comfortable with that label.
I'm such a control freak, and it's very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me.
Big productions, to me, are great - like, I love going to Vegas and seeing shows - but I think that sometimes it's distracting, especially when you are there to listen to the music.
I sing my life. It's like I'm having group therapy 350 days a year, and the people who come to the show get that, and they're there for that - whether it's to be lifted up, or to be lifted out, or just entertained or inspired, or to feel not so alone.
I look at Willow and she's so naughty and fiery, and I'm not going to take any of her fierceness personally - my mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did, she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me. And that's something I want to post on every mirror in my house: This is not about you!
I'm feeling really grateful. I'm feeling grateful that I've been able to participate in this game for as long as I have. I'm feeling grateful that I've been able to tell my stories. I don't know that my mom and dad are that grateful, or Carey [Hart, Pink's husband], but it's been good for me. I'm grateful if I've kept one girl from feeling different or ugly or unempowered.
To experience the good you have to have seen the bad; plus it makes you appreciate blessings more. Tough times taught me to be a fighter.
