Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.Collection: Equality
The 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.Collection: Nature
I 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.Collection: Change
My 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.'Collection: Truth
I always wrote poetry as a teenager and it was always so dark, but it made me feel good to get it out.Collection: Poetry
I'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?'Collection: Home
When I'm on tour, I'm in really good shape. When I get home, I cook, I eat, I get fat and happy.Collection: Home
I'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.Collection: Family
Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.Collection: Respect
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.Collection: Music
You can't move mountains by whispering at them.
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.
Sage is cleansing and sacred.
'Sexy' doesn't have to come with the price tag of being dumb.
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.
I 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.
Today, charting your own course isn't just more necessary than ever before. It's also much easier - and much more fun.
When you have a dark side, nothing is ever as good as it seems.
A 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.
I read all the time. I love it. My fantasy would be to be locked into a library. I'd be very, very happy.
My mom has always wished me a daughter just like me.
I'm very involved with PETA - People for Ethical Treatment of Animals - and Greenpeace and a lot of women's shelter and clothing giveaways.
Sometimes I wish I was poetic and subtle. I write very bold and blunt and tell it like it is.
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.
For me, there is only love and fear.
My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.
Cameron Diaz was so cute at the MTV Movie Awards when she pulled her skirt up and wiped her armpits.
Long-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.
I just get bored easily. As I'm sure other people do too.
I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.
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.
Every album, I'm worried that I'm a dork and a fraud - 'What if I can't sing anymore?' Then I stop thinking and start playing guitar, and I realize that it's okay to suck, and move forward.
I've learned I'm not lying by not saying anything, so I just don't say it anymore.
The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I'm just a sweet girl.
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.
I've always felt like the underdog, and I'm comfortable with that label.
Beautiful has never been my goal.
For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary. Sometimes that was $50 a week.
Having a child is the best thing that could happen.
I'm kind of psychotic and I like to talk about things. I'm a Virgo, too, so I like to analyze and overprocess.
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 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.
I like feeling strong. It keeps my mental floor higher.
The whole 'sell out' word to me is such a tired, tired word.
I'm taking my rats. Those are my friends for the tour. Thelma and Louise. They're so cute.
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 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.'
The only problems I've ever had with being honest is telling people how I feel about them or saying how I feel about other people.
