I used to want you so bad, I'm so through with that because honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had!
I just try to write songs that people are going to have a dialogue about.
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.
My style offstage is so different from onstage. I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.
We're African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we're like the Jacksons. But I didn't have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.
I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life. My way of dealing with frustration is to shut down and to think and speak logically.
My fans kept asking where they could get clothes like 'Destiny's Child's', so it was only natural for us to do a clothing line. I was adamant about not putting my name on something that I didn't love.
I'm a people pleaser. I hold a lot of things in. I'm always making sure everybody is okay. I usually don't rage; I usually don't curse.
I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous.
We started when we were 9 years old, and here we are getting a Hollywood star. Dreams come true. So thank you all so much for supporting us.
They do get on but I'm a daddy's girl and that's what he finds so hard to let go of
