P!nk recieved the BMI President Award for her songwriting last night. She performed You and Me with her duo You+Me and talked about her career, haters and how full of love her life is.
What she learnt from her 15 year career:
Quote:
"Unless you've been dragged through the dirt then it really doesn't end up being worth it when you get to the top right? [...] I can't even go through what I've learnt, but I've exercised a lot of demons."
On bullying:
Quote:
I don't take well to bullying. I never have. I'm not a person that will be bullied. I'm not a person that will stand by watching other people bullied. I am raising a girl and I'm a girl, I have feelings and people think I take no sh*t and I'm tough, tougher than nails, but I'm a human being, but I think people have gotten it wrong. They think their opinion matters and holds weight and I don't know where or why they're giving themselves so much credit you know? So I thought it was important for me to remind them that I don't care. My life is full, I like food a lot and I really like to cook, I like to live, I find joy in that and were doing alright in the Hart household.
On her BMI award:
Quote:
Songwriting and performing are the two biggest thing for me. I've never been one for the popularity contest kind of thing, conforming and all that. To be recognized as a legit songwriter makes me pop my chest up a little bit.
and that award is well deserved
