I've had small depressions, days when I've woken up and felt sad, especially when I'm so far away from home. I've got my religion and that is my therapy, although I think it would be good for me to have someone I can talk to. But I have friends. I haven't got a therapist but maybe I should.
I don't really like to call myself a brand, and I don't like to think of myself as a brand. I'm a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. And an actress, and all the other things that I do. When you add it all together, some might call it a brand, but that's not my focus.
Any other woman who has to go to work and pick up the kids and make dinner - that's way harder than what I have to do.

I 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.

My fans kept asking where they could get clothes like Destiny's Child's, so it was only natural for us to do a clothing line.
Elvis is iconic; a lot of performers today look to that for inspiration.
I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I'd get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.
We are all the same and we all want the same things: the right to be happy, to be just who we want to be and to love who we want to love.
Make sure you have your own life before becoming someone's wife ~spoken to Oprah in an interview
This is such a pivotal moment in my life! I'm transitioning as a woman, and I'm finally able to express myself as I am.
Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy.
And my husband and I have been together for 10 years, so I guess people felt a part of it and it makes me feel really good
One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete.

I would want them to really think about how amazing they are and how lucky they are to be a woman. And how powerful they are. And I'd tell them to love every day of it because it's the biggest miracle and a woman that's able to give birth is the most important, lucky, fortunate woman in the world.
I'm learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.
I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I've been working nonstop since I was 15. I don't even know how to chill out.
