I felt like God was giving me a chance to assist in a miracle. There is something so relieving about life taking over you like that. You're playing a part in a much bigger show. And that's what life is. It's the greatest show on earth.
I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation.
I always have breakfast, say, scrambled egg whites, a vegetable smoothie, or whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk. For lunch and dinner, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables. And throughout the day, I try to stay hydrated.
Any other woman who has to go to work and pick up the kids and make dinner - that's way harder than what I have to do.
I have two different sides to my personality. I decided to give my fans what they want and who they are used to who is the person in all the videos and the person in 'Crazy in Love' who is Sasha Fierce. I have someone else takes over when its time for me to work and when I'm on stage.
I love the Backstreet Boys! I think they're very talented and I think their harmony is wonderful.
The more you mature, you realize that this imperfections make your more beautiful.
My biggest thing is to teach not to focus on the aesthetic. It's really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful.
Playing Etta James in the movie 'Cadillac Records' really changed me. It was a darker character, and I realized that if anything is too comfortable, I want to run from it. It's no fun being safe.
When I'm on the red carpet, I'm prepared for [the attention.] But the worst thing is on planes, when you're asleep and you're woken up by a camera flashing. That's a little bit much. But what do you do? It's a part of [being famous]. Unfortunately.
To be able to travel the world, especially to places I never thought I'd be it's really, you know, still fascinating for me.
Baby it's you. You're the one I love. You're the one I need. You're the only one I see.
I love my job, but it's more than that: I need it.
I don't flaunt my money. I like to stay at nice hotels but I'm not a flashy chick. I haven't got much jewellery or anything.
