Quotes by Beyoncé Knowles
Beyoncé Knowles's insights on:
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.
You’re everything I thought you never were and nothing like I thought you could’ve been.
It’s easy to hear the voices of others and often very difficult to hear your own. Every person you meet is going to want something different from you. The question is: what do you want for yourself?
You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don’t make as much money as men do. I don’t understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat?
I’ve had small depressions, days when I’ve woken up and felt sad, especially when I’m so far away from home. I’ve got my religion and that is my therapy, although I think it would be good for me to have someone I can talk to. But I have friends. I haven’t got a therapist but maybe I should.
Yes, I will probably be that way. I am sure I will. I think that it shouldn’t stop you. I think of course my life is going to change, and I definitely will make sacrifices, but you know, I think I will be able to bring hopefully my little rider with me.
There’s my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.
Actually I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that it has been announced and I don’t have to, you know, it was really difficult to conceal, but now that I can be proud and excited about it I’m having so much fun shopping – it’s great.
