I was so shy and when my sister was born I found it hard. I was really strange and kind of too quiet.

One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete.

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

We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.

When I hear a great new record, especially when it's by someone that I respect and admire, then a part of me is like, Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I write that record? It makes you sick, but in a way it can be a great thing. It makes you want to go back to the lab and start writing again. Maybe it will inspire you to try a little harder.

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?

I have learned that it is no one else’s job to take care of me but me.
