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.
For me, there is only love and fear.
I always wrote poetry as a teenager and it was always so dark, but it made me feel good to get it out.
I read all the time. I love it. My fantasy would be to be locked into a library. I'd be very, very happy.
I wanted to do it my way with my career, and I had this arrogant notion that people weren't just interested in my music but me as a person. That was my bit of arrogance, I guess. That's something I learned from Madonna. I was a fan right from the first time I heard 'Holiday.'
I was brought up to question authority, and thank God for that.
