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.
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!
Y'all are so cute and y'all talk so proper over here. I love England.
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.
There are a lot of things I never did, because I believe in watching those true Hollywood stories and I see how easy it is to lose track of your life.

Diana Ross is a big inspiration to all of us. We all grew up watching everything about her - her mike placement, her grace, her style and her class.
I've worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.
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.

Women have to work much harder to make it in this world. It really pisses me off that women don't get the same opportunities as men do, or money for that matter. Because lets face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define our values and to define what's sexy and what's feminine and that's bullshit. At the end of the day, it's not about equal rights, it's about how we think. We have to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves.Collection: Inspiring

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.Collection: Reality
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.
