It Makes You Sick, But In A Way It Can Be A Great Thing. It Makes You Want To Go Back To The Lab And Start Writing Again. Maybe It Will Inspire You To Try A Little Harder.

There's My Personal Life, My Sensitive Side, And Then Me As A Performer, Sexy And Energised And Fun.

I Don't Really Like To Call Myself A Brand, And I Don't Like To Think Of Myself As A Brand. I'm A Singer, A Songwriter, A Musician And A Performer. And An Actress, And All The Other Things That I Do. When You Add It All Together, Some Might Call It A Brand, But That's Not My Focus.

You Definitely Feed Off The People Around You, And Your Man Is One Of The People You Talk To The Most. So You Kind Of Help Each Other And Keep Each Other Strong. It's Important.

I Remember Being In Japan When Destiny's Child Put Out 'independent Women,' And Women There Were Saying How Proud They Were To Have Their Own Jobs, Their Own Independent Thinking, Their Own Goals.

For Me, It's About The Way I Carry Myself And The Way I Treat Other People. My Relationship And How I Feel About God And What He Does For Me, Is Something Deeply Personal. It's Where I Came From, My Family, I Was Brought Up In A Religious Household And That's Very Important To Me.

I Wrote "bootylicious" Because, At The Time, I’d Gained Some Weight And The Pressure That People Put You Under, The Pressure To Be Thin, Is Unbelievable. I Was Just 18 And You Shouldn’t Be Thinking About That. You Should Be Thinking About Building Up Your Character And Having Fun And The Song Was Just Telling Everyone Just Forget What People Are Saying. You’re Bootylicious. That’s All. It’s A Celebration Of Curves And A Celebration Of Women’s Bodies.

I Don't Use Backing Tapes When I Am Singing And Dancing On Stage. I Can Do Cartwheels And Sing.

Happiness Comes From You. No One Else Can Make You Happy. You Make You Happy.

I'm Over Being A Pop Star. I Don't Wanna Be A Hot Girl. I Wanna Be Iconic. And I Feel Like I've Accomplished A Lot. I Feel Like I'm Highly Respected, Which Is More Important Than Any Award Or Any Amount Of Records. And I Feel Like There Comes A Point When Being A Pop Star Is Not Enough.

I Am Really Proud That I Am One Of The Artists That Has The Opportunity To Be On Magazine Covers And To Be In The Movies.

I Wanted To Be Famous For My Music And My Talent, And I Always Wished I Could Cut It Out When I Left The Stage.

I Like It When I'm On The Stage, But Honestly, I Would Be Very Happy If I Could Cut It Off, Just Enjoy My Life When I Wasn't Performing.

I'm Just Free. And I Can Express My Sensuality. I Can Express My Pain, Vulnerability, My Strength. All Of Those Things. Because I Had A Sheltered Upbringing Doesn't Mean I Haven't Been A Woman. I'm A Woman That Has Had Life Experiences.

Life Experience

All Of That. A Celebration Of Love.

Tatoo Your Name Across My Heart, So It Will Remain / Not Even Death Could Make Us Part / What Kind Is It / It Could Be A Sweet Dream Or A Beautiful Nightmare / Either Way I Don't Want To Wake Up From You.

I Felt Very Maternal Around Eight Months. And I Thought I Couldn't Become Any More Until I Saw The Baby... But It Happened During My Labor Because I Had A Very Strong Connection With My Child. I Felt Like When I Was Having Contractions, I Envisioned My Child Pushing Through A Very Heavy Door. And I Imagined This Tiny Infant Doing All The Work, So I Couldn't Think About My Own Pain... We Were Talking. I Know It Sounds Crazy, But I Felt A Communication.

I Don't Really Have Any Different Cravings From The Ones That I Had Before. I've Always Liked Food That Is Not Good For You, And I Still Do. But I Think I've Been Really Good With Eating Healthy. I Think Probably The Biggest Thing Is French Fries, But That's Nothing New. Right Now, I'm Trying To Force Myself To Drink Water With Lemon. Bo-ring.

My Focus Is My Art, And That's What I Love To Do. I Have To Be Really Passionate In Order To Do Something. I've Turned Down Many Things That I Just Didn't Believe In.

The Pink Panther Is Legendary, But A Lot Of People My Age Haven't Ever Seen The Original. So, I Think It's Great To Bring It Back For My Generation, And To Expose Them To Where That Theme Song Which Still Sounds So Modern And That Legendary Image Of A Pink Cat Came From. It's Great To Be A Part Of That, Because It's History.

One Of The Reasons I Connect To The Super Bowl Is That I Approach My Shows Like An Athlete.

Embrace Your Past, But Live For Now.

I'm No Longer Afraid Of Conflict, And I Don't Think Conflict Is A Bad Thing.

I Work Closely With A Number Of Charities From Food Pantries To Drug Rehabilitation To Natural Disaster Relief To Preventing Sexual Exploitation Of Young Girls. It Is One Of The Most Rewarding Things I Do.

'cause Your Love Got The Best Of Me, And Baby You're Making A Fool Of Me. You Got Me Sprung And I Don't Care Who Sees, 'cause Baby You Got Me So Crazy.

If Everything Was Perfect You Would Never Learn And You Would Never Grow.

I Always Try To Be Myself. Ever Since I Was An Introverted Kid, I'd Get On Stage And Be Able To Break Out Of My Shell.

Spread Positivity; Don't Matter How Big, Or How Small.

Yes, I Will Probably Be That Way. I Am Sure I Will. I Think That It Shouldn't Stop You. I Think Of Course My Life Is Going To Change, And I Definitely Will Make Sacrifices, But You Know, I Think I Will Be Able To Bring Hopefully My Little Rider With Me.

I Mean, I Feel Like You Get More Bees With Honey. But That Doesn't Mean I Don't Get Frustrated In My Life.

We Need To Stop Buying Into The Myth About Gender Equality. It Isn't A Reality Yet. Today, Women Make Up Half Of The U.s. Workforce, But The Average Working Woman Earns Only 77 Percent Of What The Average Working Man Makes. But Unless Women And Men Both Say This Is Unacceptable, Things Will Not Change.

With A Lot Of Success Comes A Lot Of Negativity.

I Think People Have An Idea In Their Heads About Entertainers[and] Celebrities. I Think They Feel Like Their Lives Are So Perfect, And It's Really Hard To Go Through Painful Experiences When You Are In The Public Eye Because It's Hard To Have Closure.

Love Is So Blind, It Feels Right When It's Wrong.

Destiny's Child Will Always Be No.1 On My List.

It Is The Most Powerful Creation To Have Life Growing Inside Of You. There Is No Bigger Gift.

Who I Am On Stage Is Very, Very Different To Who I Am In Real Life. But I Don't See That Having A Sexy Image When You Are On Stage Means That You Don't Love God. No One Knows What I'm Really Like From That. I Like To Walk Around With Bare Feet And I Don't Like To Comb My Hair. I'm Always So Glammed Up And So Diva On Stage And That's What They See. People Don't Understand That... No One Knows My Personal Relationship With God And It's Not Up To Me To Prove That To Anyone.

We're All Going Through Our Problems, But We All Have The Same Insecurities And We All Have The Same Abilities And We All Need Each Other.

I Am Not Bossy, I Am The Boss.

I'm Always Happy When I'm Surrounded By Water, I Think I'm A Mermaid Or I Was A Mermaid. The Ocean Makes Me Feel Really Small And It Makes Me Put My Whole Life Into Perspective… It Humbles You And Makes You Feel Almost Like You’ve Been Baptized. I Feel Born Again When I Get Out Of The Ocean.

I Embrace Mistakes, They Make You Who You Are.

Right Now The Tabloids Are Saying I'm Pregnant, And They're Naming The Baby. It's Hilarious. I Don't Know When I'll Want To Get Married. I Never Pictured Myself As A Bride, But After My Sister's Wedding,i Did Start Thinking About What Kind Of Wedding I'd Want. I Don't Think I Want A Big One.

We Have To Teach Our Boys The Rules Of Equality And Respect, So That As They Grow Up Gender Equality Becomes A Natural Way Of Life. And We Have To Teach Our Girls That They Can Reach As High As Humanly Possible.

To Me It's Sexier When It Doesn't Look Like You Go To The Gym. I Feel Best When I'm Not Really Thin And Not Really Heavy - When I'm Still Curvy.

Everyone's Not Good At Everything, It's Ok To Depend On Someone.

I Know You Want Me Back. It's Time To Face The Facts. That I'm The One That's Got Away. Lord Knows That It Would Take Another Place, Another Time, Another World, Another Life. Thank God I Found The Good In Goodbye.

I Remember Thinking, "my Little Sister Is Going To Be Something Super Special," Because You Always Seemed To Know What You Wanted. And I'm Just Curious, Where Did That Come From?

I'll Put On A Song That I Really Like And Do Bicep Curls With Two Kilo Weights The Whole Song.
