My mum and I have an incredible friendship now after a mixture of pain, honesty, unconditional love and a long break from each other
PinkA lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.
PinkI think you learn more about yourself in the context of a relationship than you can outside of it.
Pinkwhere ther is drsire there is gonig to be a flame where there is a flame someones bound to burned just because it bruns doesn't mean your going to die you gotta get up and try, try, try
PinkCharting your own course isn't just more necessary than ever before. It's also much easier - and much more fun.
PinkThere's something about breaking up with someone - you just look hotter than you ever did before.
PinkLong-term relationships are an everyday choice. It's harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.
PinkOnce you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.
PinkI'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.
PinkI will never be a stupid girl... and neither should you. Today, charting your own course isn't just more necessary than ever before... it's also much easier -- and much more fun. A good education is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself.
PinkThe problem was, I was labeled as trouble - so I was like, 'Trouble? I'll show you trouble. You want trouble, well here it is!' No matter what label they give you, the best thing you can do is prove them wrong.
PinkMy 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.
PinkI tend to put my foot in my mouth. I'm not good at being diplomatic. I tend to piss people off.
PinkMy dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you'll never have enemies, because people will always know where you're coming from.'
PinkI want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.
PinkI 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!
PinkI'm very much in the trenches, and I don't live in the lap of luxury. I come from a working-class military family. We watch the news and read the paper and vote, so there's always something to be upset about. I always have a certain amount of angst in my back pocket.
PinkI've been asked to do 'American Idol' and 'X Factor.' I'm an Ed McMahon kind of girl. 'Star Search?' I'm in, all day long. It felt more authentic, and the market wasn't oversaturated with karaoke contests.
PinkThe willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It's the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it - no wind, no elements, it can bend and withstand anything.
PinkWomen have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.
PinkMy definition of freedom is knowing who you are, and then being it. No matter what anyone else is doing. And naked parties of course.
PinkI think the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight... It's not a gay wedding, it's just a wedding... It's not a gay marriage, it's just a marriage.
PinkDr. Maggie DiNome was given the Duke Award for her tireless efforts and stellar contributions to the eradication of cancer. But unfortunately my weight seems much more important to some of you. While I will admit the dress didn't photograph as well as it did in my kitchen, I will also admit I felt very pretty. In fact, I feel beautiful.
PinkI 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.
PinkI was a very defensive kid 'cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn't want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.
PinkFor so long, I was searching for something to be proud of. But at a certain point, I realized, 'Wait, I'm doing what I want to be doing. I'm not wanting to do it; I'm doing it.' And that's awesome.
PinkYou hear people say it all the time, how life changes so drastically. But you can't possibly grasp how beautiful that is until you have your child.
PinkI'm never the kind of person who's sitting at home reading the charts and basing how I feel about myself or even my career on stats. I've always based it on, 'Am I doing the best that I can do?'
PinkBig 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.
