It has been frequently, but incorrectly, reported that Alecia is the cousin of Mandy Moore.
Alecia Moore is not the first Pennsylvania-born celebrity to go by the nickname Pink. The same sobriquet was briefly used by Elizabeth Cochrane (or Cochran, 1864-1922), who later became known as Nellie Bly. Cochran(e)/Bly famously broke gender barriers as a whistle-blowing journalist, travel writer, industrialist, war correspondent, and philanthropist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She is best known for her world-circumnavigating voyage in the winter of 1889-90, wherein she became the first person to prove the plausibility of the Jules Verne novel 80 Days Around the World, i.e. that someone could make such a journey in such a time span.
Revealed in a radio interview that she purposely flubs her songs when performing live to show she doesn't lip sync.
Teamed up with Dallas Green from City and Colour to write an album together. The duo wrote and recorded their debut album for You+Me in 6 days.
Was born at 3 PM.
Personal Quotes*
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."
I'm about to make people forget about Madonna.
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.
When I was in seventh grade my mom caught me smoking cigarettes and punished me by making me smoke the entire carton. All it did was piss me off because I was out of cigarettes.
I appreciate being a girl more now than ever. There's a struggle involved in it, but it's so rewarding when you prove to all men that you might have something up on 'em.
I have to speak for myself. As far as videos go--casting, the artwork, everything--I'm completely hands-on. You have to be if you want your points across.
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.
I would win on Survivor (2000) as long as I didn't have to eat bugs.
It takes a lot of people years to turn a negative into a positive. It takes me, like, an album.
There's not a lot of people out there that are as honest as I am.
Just read that I'm bisexual. So 1991. Good thing people write articles about me so I can get my facts straight. Can't wait for the day when people stop talking about sexual preference or that a woman is a CEO and actually start making the world liveable.
