Pink

I decided at 15 that I didn't want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don't mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I've had, things I've been through, and even the stuff I'm embarrassed about.

If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm and You are the music.

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.

My definition of stupid is wasting your opportunity to be yourself because I think everybody has a uniqueness and everybody's good at something.

Loads of my friends are lesbians, and it really annoys me that gay people aren't allowed to get married in most parts of America. I'd go on a march for gay rights any time.

I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.

Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.

We're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again.

I can turn heartbreak into songs that help other people

My mum and I have an incredible friendship now after a mixture of pain, honesty, unconditional love and a long break from each other
