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.
It's really the creature of my own making from top to bottom. I appreciate that. And the good fortune, the perseverance, having the stamina to stick around longer than everyone else even after people write you off - that's always been a good motivating force in my life.
My music already has this oldish kind of quality to it, like you don't necessarily know what era it was recorded in, so it all kind of felt surreal and weird. Night after night when I played live, I was really trying to figure it out in real time, and I still don't know what effect I'm going for or what effect I actually achieve. Looking back, I feel like it would be arrogant of me not to appreciate the fact that I've been able to do whatever I want and still have an audience come see me.
When I was in seventh grade my mom caught me smoking cigarettes and punished me by making me smoke the entire carton. All it did was piss me off because I was out of cigarettes.
I don't try to be candy coated. I don't try to walk on eggshells. I am what I am. Love me or hate me.
In the late '90s, R&B was dominant in the radio, and the white kids were taking it mainstream.
Pink is what I do. Alecia is who I am. The world has taken Pink and turned it into this thing, a brand - a snarl.
Sometimes I wish I was poetic and subtle. I write very bold and blunt and tell it like it is.
I know my strong points: I work hard, I have talent, I'm funny, and I'm a good person.
Every album, I'm worried that I'm a dork and a fraud - 'What if I can't sing anymore?' Then I stop thinking and start playing guitar, and I realize that it's okay to suck, and move forward.
I write from my life, my experience. I'm selfish that way.
I'm kind of psychotic and I like to talk about things. I'm a Virgo, too, so I like to analyze and overprocess.
Having a child is the best thing that could happen.
I live in America. I love being an American.
