Quotes
edit- When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.

- I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter—what a joke. Every time I had to do a report or a debate in school, I would research the topic of animal rights. I was horrified to find the cruelty and pain that they were forced to endure at our hands. … I aspire to have a lot of land one day, where I will rescue and board many animals.
Song lyrics
edit- That's when you can build a bridge of light.
That's what turns the wrong so right.
That's when you can't give up the fight.That's when love turns nighttime into day.
That's when loneliness goes away.
That's when you gotta be strong tonight.
Only love can build us a bridge of light.- Bridge of Light, written by Pink and Billy Mann, from the soundtrack to Happy Feet Two (2011)

edit- I think I've finally had enough;
I think I maybe think too much.
I think this might be it for us
(blow me one last kiss).
You think I'm just too serious;
I think you're full of shit.
My head is spinning so
(blow me one last kiss).

I think that life's too short for this;
I'll pack my ignorance and bliss.
I think I've had enough of this.
