When I was writing the Destiny's Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn't know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it.

To me it's sexier when it doesn't look like you go to the gym. I feel best when I'm not really thin and not really heavy - when I'm still curvy.

If you are with the right person, it brings out the best version of you.

Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different.

We're all going through our problems, but we all have the same insecurities and we all have the same abilities and we all need each other.

It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else's job to take care of me but me.

I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care.
