Right now the tabloids are saying I'm pregnant, and they're naming the baby. It's hilarious. I don't know when I'll want to get married. I never pictured myself as a bride, but after my sister's wedding,I did start thinking about what kind of wedding I'd want. I don't think I want a big one.
Beyonce KnowlesI wrote "Bootylicious" because, at the time, Iโd gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable. I was just 18 and you shouldnโt 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. Youโre bootylicious. Thatโs all. Itโs a celebration of curves and a celebration of womenโs bodies.
Beyonce KnowlesWhy 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?
Beyonce KnowlesYou 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 truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous.
