I am a woman and when I think, I must speak.

Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything? I'm just a woman and I love being a woman. If you're attractive then you can't be sexy, and you can't be intelligent? What is all of that?

It is the most powerful creation to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift.

I have nine Grammy Awards. I wouldn't have that if I couldn't sing.

I just hope people don't get sick of us. I'm sick of us and I'm in Destiny's Child.

I know I'm stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.

My mom is one of those people that you feel honored to meet. And no matter who you are, you fall in love with her because she is spiritual, she's inspiring, she's strong, she's funny, she's creative, she's talented... she's everything that I want to be.
