"Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I'm drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down - we're not going to be the number one group in the world forever - so you have to have something else to fall back on."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. 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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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. It made me feel so good, and I realized that one of my responsibilities was to inspire women in a deeper way."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"When I was writing the Destiny's Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn't know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don't know you think."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care - that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I always treat myself to one meal on Sundays when I can have whatever I want. Usually it's pizza, which is my favorite indulgence."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"We all have our imperfections. But I'm human, and you know, it's important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"Whenever I'm confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles

Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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 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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I get nervous when I don't get nervous. If I'm nervous I know I'm going to have a good show."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"If I weren't performing, I'd be a beauty editor or a therapist. I love creativity, but I also love to help others. My mother was a hairstylist, and they listen to everyone's problems - like a beauty therapist!"
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life."

"One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"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."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
