I know my strong points: I work hard, I have talent, I'm funny, and I'm a good person.
When I'm on tour, I'm in really good shape. When I get home, I cook, I eat, I get fat and happy.
I always wrote poetry as a teenager and it was always so dark, but it made me feel good to get it out.
If you spend the first 30 years of your life only trying to look good, you're not going to know yourself very well. If you got it, flaunt it.
I'd like to be seen as a normal, attractive person with good values.
I love to get to that place where I don't know what kind of music I'm doing; I don't know if it's any good. I don't know if it's anything. It's a big question mark. The idea is to have interesting results. That's my bottom line.
I had a very active inner life as a kid. There's a good album or two worth of stuff that I can bring out on a rainy day if I have a loss for inspiration or whatever - even now.
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.
I definitely don't feel a sense of jealousy or competition, and that's a really good feeling.
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.
