Pink

In the late '90s, R&B was dominant in the radio, and the white kids were taking it mainstream.

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 don't like working with hitmakers. I don't want hits! You're not even allowed to say that word around me.

In the late '90s, R&B was dominant in the radio, and the white kids were taking it mainstream.

Record companies, I found out, can put out compilations without your permission.

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.'

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.

Beautiful has never been my goal.

I know my strong points: I work hard, I have talent, I'm funny, and I'm a good person.

There's something about breaking up with someone - you just look hotter than you ever did before.

My stage show is raw and unpredictable.

I love the shows that are in dingy little dark clubs, smoky, no production whatsoever.

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 have no idea why anyone likes me! I am very polarizing. It's either absolutely love or absolutely can't-be-around-for-more-than-three-seconds.

I like feeling strong. It keeps my mental floor higher.

Gymnasts are short, stocky, muscular powerhouses.

Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. I personally don't know a single person who doesn't know at least two of these victims personally.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.

Sage is cleansing and sacred.

I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.
