I think people have an idea in their heads about entertainers[and] celebrities. I think they feel like their lives are so perfect, and it's really hard to go through painful experiences when you are in the public eye because it's hard to have closure.

I need to find a catchy new word for feminism, right? Like 'bootylicious.'

You can't put your finger on who I am. I can't put my finger on who I am.

My focus is my art, and that's what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I've turned down many things that I just didn't believe in.

I have two different sides to my personality. I decided to give my fans what they want and who they are used to who is the person in all the videos and the person in 'Crazy in Love' who is Sasha Fierce. I have someone else takes over when its time for me to work and when I'm on stage.

A true diva is graceful, and talented, and strong, and fearless and brave and someone with humility.

Love is something that never goes out of style. It's something everybody experiences, and if they are not in love, people usually want to feel that.
