Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.

I'd rather bleed with cuts of love than live without any scars.

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.

I'd love to have time to do my hair, honestly. I'd love to be Victoria Beckham just for one day -- to look that good. But I can't.

I think you learn more about yourself in the context of a relationship than you can outside of it.

I was extreme... from skateboarder to hip-hopper to rave child to lead singer of a rock band -- I did it all, and all at the same time.

You can't move mountains by whispering at them.

I sing my life. It's like I'm having group therapy 350 days a year, and the people who come to the show get that, and they're there for that -- whether it's to be lifted up, or to be lifted out, or just entertained or inspired, or to feel not so alone.

My life was once whiskey, tears and cigarettes... now it's snot, tears and a color of poop. Bliss. I do miss the whiskey, though.

If God could be 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.

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

I change my mind so much I need two boyfriends and a girlfriend.

There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I'm in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.

Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women's rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what's going on in Africa it stops us from thinking in general.

I'm very involved with PETA -- People for Ethical Treatment of Animals -- and Greenpeace and a lot of women's shelter and clothing giveaways.

Sexy doesn't have to come with the price tag of being dumb.

Carey's had though times as well, so between the two of us, it's perfect.

I see you try to hurt me bad. Don't know what you're up against. Maybe you should reconsider; come up with another plan. Cause you know I'm not that kinda girl. I'll just get back up again.

I live in America. I love being an American.
