I'm [00:26] still a rock star. I [00:31] feel like I've kept my integrity You're not always going [00:34] to be popular. When you're a woman with a lot of [00:36] opinions and you don't back down and you don't [00:39] apologize, it's hard, it's hard for people, but I'm okay [00:43] with it because I like me.

[ MUSIC ] [00:59] Pink is beautiful inside and out, but she's also in [01:02] amazing shape. I mean, to do the stunts that she does [01:05] at her live shows, and to do that while singing is like, [01:09] how? [ MUSIC ] But besides [01:13] all that Pink is really down to earth, outspoken and [01:16] refreshing. I like children a lot more than I like [01:18] grown- ups. I'm very polarizing, some people would [01:22] march with me and other people would run away as [01:25] fast as they can but it's always worked out for me. [01:29] For how I feel about myself and for the kind of [01:32] friendships and relationships that I have .>> The [01:35] cutest sassiest little six year old ever .>> Two of the [01:38] most beautiful things in Pink's life are of course her [01:41] children .>> Yeah that's cute. How'd you get that cute [01:45] anyway ?>> Her daughter Willow Sage who was born [01:47] in 2011 2007, and her son Jameson Moon, who came [01:50] right at the end of 2016. Willow is very literal. She's [01:56] got a scientific brain. She's really funny, [02:00] really sassy, a little too smart. She's gonna set the [02:04] world on fire. He's got music in his body. Jameson [02:08] loves attention. He's not shy at all. He's the most social [02:10] baby I've ever met in my life. My life. I'm trying to say, [02:13] stranger danger and he's like, what?
