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.

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

There's my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.

I don't like to gamble, but if there's one thing I'm willing to bet on, it's myself.

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.

Destiny's Child will always be No.1 on my list.

I would want them to really think about how amazing they are and how lucky they are to be a woman. And how powerful they are. And I'd tell them to love every day of it because it's the biggest miracle and a woman that's able to give birth is the most important, lucky, fortunate woman in the world.
