For Pink, however, children helped her to better understand the world and her own career.
pink spoke about criticism and “advice” he received before having children. In an interview with Zane Lowe at the Apple Music 1 (via NME), the singer revealed that she heard that her career would be “over” by having children.
Despite that, pink – who has two children, an 11-year-old and a six-year-old – believes her career has benefited from her maternal experience: “Everyone told me, ‘If you have kids now, your career is over.’ But I think everyone has this idea of me that I’m just my singles. That I’m snarling, angry, a man-eater.”
“Obviously, we’re all a lot more complex than that, but when I had a kid, I think the world got softer, the part that didn’t understand me. I think that’s where my career really started,” he continued.
According to the artist, children help her to better understand the world around her: “Of course, I did a lot of things before that, but that’s when I started to really understand myself, understand the world and the place where I am.”
“Having a family was really important to me because when I was a kid, my family life was difficult. Just making music wasn’t enough for me. I was lonely, so alone. Music can be a lonely business,” he added.
