My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.
I am a woman and when I think, I must speak.
Perfection is a disease of a nation.
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.
The more successful I become, the more I need a man.
I've worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.
In my videos, I always want to be a powerful woman. That's my mission.
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.
One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete.
I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation.
There's my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.
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. So for me, it's a great thing to be able to scream and say whatever I want.
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.
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.
