P!nk: 'I've always been considered butch'

Feisty singer P!nk has admitted that she doesn't rely on her looks to boost her fame.

While the songstress is an obvious beauty with an enviable physique, she explained to Redbook that she is "considered butch" and was told repeatedly that she probably wouldn't be able to cover magazines because she isn't "pretty enough":

"A girl like me' is someone who doesn't rest on her looks, who has had people tell me from day one, 'You're never going to get magazine covers because you're not pretty enough'. I'm totally comfortable with that. I know my strong points - I work hard, I have talent, I'm funny, and I'm a good person."

Referring to her own definition of beauty, P!nk added that feeling love from both her daughter and husband is the most important thing:

"Feeling beautiful to me is when I feel good in my leather pants and my husband grabs my ass. Or when I'm sitting on a mat and my daughter runs to me with complete joy. Beautiful has never been my goal. Joy is my goal - to feel healthy and strong and powerful and useful and engaged and intelligent and in love. And there's such joy now."
