"I've had the responsibility since I was 15 of someone who is 25 or 30, so now I have a lot of pressure. I employ a lot of people, I make a lot of adult decisions, and that has forced me to grow up a little faster."
"There's plenty of days when I'm like 'Oh God, why?' But that's just life. It's every job, not just mine. Every moment is not perfect. But it's definitely more good times than bad. You can't even compare. And when I'm on stage it feels incredible. There are certain nights that you know you hit that crazy note and you know that spin spinned extra fast. And you look out and people are just into it and you've worked so hard and now it's paying off and you can see why you dedicated your life to this."
"It doesn't annoy me, no, because I respect J.Lo. I like her, I think she's great. And I know that I'm over a decade younger than her, it's so flattering that I'm so young and people are comparing me to someone who has accomplished so much. But I don't think I'm like anyone else and really, I'd rather not be compared to anyone else." - on comparisions to J.Lo
"I wrote that 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." - on her song "Bootylicious"
"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."
"At the Billboard Awards my skirt was so tight they had to lift me on stage."
"Y'all are so cute and y'all talk so proper over here. I love England."
"Yeah, I hated my name. I just wanted to blend in. I kept asking, 'Mama, why is my name Beyoncé?' I used to think it was made up, but it was actually her maiden name."
"It's hard for me to meet someone, because guys are intimidated. They see the glamour and the security guys and don't know how to deal. Honestly, even if I give a guy my number, they don't call."
"The great thing about McDonald's is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads."
"I get nervous when I don't get nervous. If I'm nervous I know I'm going to have a good show."
"The more successful I become, the more I need a man."
"There's definitely a dangerous feeling when you're in love - it's giving your heart to someone else and knowing that they have control over your feelings. I know for me, who always tries to be so tough, that's the dangerous thing."
"I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation."
"Trust is really important, just in relationships in general. I really don't like people that aren't real people around me at all. I don't like people that are 'yes' people. I don't like people that tell me what they think I want to hear."
"Love is something that never goes out of style. It's something everybody experiences, and if they are not in love, people usually want to feel that. So if you hear the album, it's very romantic."
"I have a song that's called 'Me, Myself and I,' which is one of my favorites, and it basically talks about a girl who the guy's not right for her and he's cheating and whatever."
"It was great for that to be my first movie with such a wonderful cast, and such a huge movie. And now I get to do The Fighting Temptations, which is coming out soon - it wasn't much of a character, it was more of a real person, so I got to show more of my acting range."
"On our tour, we met many of the children and families who are assisted by the funds raised through World Children's Day. We really recorded this song for them and all of the people who stand up and help."
