She told the USA Today newspaper: "If she rebels, she'll listen to opera and hate tattoos. If she has talent, I'd be cool with it. This world is way too cruel if you're not talented. That's why I didn't get lost in the sauce.

"And it's harder if you have a vagina. An ambitious man is admirable and respected. An ambitious woman is difficult and emotional. There's a boys' club, even in music. You have to think before you talk. I can be loud, but I've learned you can have quiet power."

Despite the problems she knows her child may face, Pink would love more kids and have a big family because she knows then at least one of her kids will like her.

She said: "I didn't realise you wake up every day and get hit by this worry train, 'Oh, my God, is she breathing? Did she eat enough? Am I doing this right? Does she like me?' The weight of it. I don't want to screw this up.

"I want lots of kids. I know at least one of them will love me forever. I want loud, dysfunctional holidays!"
