P!NK Teleprint Conference Interview

P!nk has a new album in stores titled "I'm Not Dead." The albums first single "Stupid Girls" is primarily known for its music video in which P!nk spoofs several young Hollywood starlets and cliches. The single is climbing on the Billboard Chart. In mid April, P!nk participated in a teleprint phone conference put together by Jive Records. She answered questions for just under a dozen media participants, including Thabiz.com.

 

There has been a lot of talk about you starring in the Janice Joplin bio pick. Is this a project that you would like to take on for one of your first major acting roles?
P!nk-I’ve actually dropped out of that because of scheduling conflicts. So, it was a role I got two years ago. It’s a movie they’ve been trying to make for 15 years, and I think if Janice Joplin wants that movie made, it’ll get made.

Oh, OK. The name Linda Perry often comes up when your music is discussed. Can you describe the songwriting process when you and Linda get together?
P!nk-Yes, that was – you know, we worked together on “Mizzunderstood” and the last album, but we – she – we didn’t work together on this album. You know, it was a place and time and it was amazing. And we were able to be completely defenseless and just open up and just tell how we feel. So it was good, at the time.


Do you have any regrets about making the “Stupid Girls” video?
I ask this because it seems like you’ve been placed as being against young Hollywood clichés. So do you feel your message may have been misconstrued in any way?

P!nk-No, not really. I think the message got through loud and clear, especially from the feedback I’ve gotten. It’s a debate, and I thought it was a discussion that needed to be had and I’m absolutely proud of it and I have absolutely no regrets.

Journalist from various media participated in the P!nk Teleprint Conference. Entertainmentworld.us, Teenmusic.com, Teenscenemag.com, and Collegebound.net were among the publications who participated. Below are a few of the questions that P!nk answered for the various writers.

What were your musical expectations and goals that you set up for the album?
P!nk-I had none. I never have a plan really. It’s just – depends on who I connect with and who I’m collaborating with and I just knew I wanted to be very honest and open and, you know, it’s a lot – has a lot to do with awareness and looking at the world around me, I think.

What would you say is the hardest lesson that you’ve learned so far in the entertainment industry and showbiz?

P!nk-That you have to be happy with what you do for yourself because, you know, the respect of others is very fleeting. Yes, I mean, just that, you know – and also, I mean, LA Reid told me many, many years ago when I first started out that I can’t allow people to rob me of my happiness and there will always be someone that wants to bring you down, but you just can’t let them.

How do you feel about being in the gossip magazines along with Lindsay and the rest of young Hollywood?
P!nk- It’s inevitable. So, I mean, I don’t choose it, but at the same time, I don’t really mind, I don’t really care. Because I think the good thing about that is people see you and then they see what your messages are and what you believe in and then maybe they’ll go to your Web site and see your “Save the World” page or – it’s just an avenue, I guess.

How do you feel with – you and your music have really changed since the early pink hair days. Because it has, I know
.
P!nk- Yes. I like that I never repeat myself and I have a really big problem with stagnation and I’m very, very happy. I think it’s perfect. It’s – you know, I’ve made some mistakes and – but from my path and for what I want out of life, it’s perfect.
