I'm always happy when I'm surrounded by water, I think I'm a Mermaid or I was a mermaid. The ocean makes me feel really small and it makes me put my whole life into perspectiveโฆ it humbles you and makes you feel almost like youโve been baptized. I feel born again when I get out of the ocean.
Beyonce KnowlesI like it when I'm on the stage, but honestly, I would be very happy if I could cut it off, just enjoy my life when I wasn't performing.
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.
