Everybody has their pain.
When Beyonce began singing in earnest, she was 10 years old.
I grew up with Cher and Motown, beautiful costumes.
Beyonce knows what looks good on her and what doesn't. She likes fitted dresses. They flatter her curvy figure. Baggy tops don't work. But for everyday wear, she really prefers jeans and a fitted jacket.
Louisiana is a special place in my family's history, and we are committed as a family to never forget the city and the people of Baton Rouge.
As a designer, I believe in the power of fashion. It has the ability to not only change how you look but also how you feel about yourself.
Beyonce was very shy around children, and one of the reasons we put her in dance classes was so she'd have some little kid friends.
The music business inspires designers, and designers inspire the music business.
Artists are blessed to travel all over the world. They see the trends before they even come out.
Being in the music business, if we couldn't pull the fashions from designers and if designers couldn't use artists to show off their fashions, where would we be?
Haters gonna be haters, and there's nothing we can do about that.
You want to have a relationship with a man, but, at the end of the day, you have to have some good ole girlfriends. When you are at your lowest, they are going to be there.
I don't understand women who don't love women. I love women. I just think they are magnificent creatures.
You want kids to dream big.
I was from this small town, and my parents were poor.
We have always been a family that's given back. We just don't make a lot of noise about it.
My girls do a lot of philanthropic work, but they are very private about it.
I've read some things where people are like, 'Beyonce wants to be white' because she has blonde highlights in her hair, but it's ridiculous. You know, she is who she is, and she's a very proud black woman. I know people with natural hair that are the least black inside; you know, it doesn't matter.
Nothing makes me happier than for a woman to come up to me saying, 'I started exercising, and I lost weight, and I got a new man,' and you know, I get chills thinking about it. It's my purpose; I feel like I found my purpose.
I'm always ready for more grandbabies.
