In my videos, I always want to be a powerful woman. That's my mission.

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

When I'm on the red carpet, I'm prepared for [the attention.] But the worst thing is on planes, when you're asleep and you're woken up by a camera flashing. That's a little bit much. But what do you do? It's a part of [being famous]. Unfortunately.

I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies.

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

I don't really like to call myself a brand, and I don't like to think of myself as a brand. I'm a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. And an actress, and all the other things that I do. When you add it all together, some might call it a brand, but that's not my focus.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.
