“When you’re famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.”

Embrace your past, but live for now.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.

I used to want you so bad, I’m so through with that because honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had!

Perfection is a disease of a nation.

Men and women balance each other out, and we have to get to a point where we are comfortable with appreciating each other.

There are times i hate you cause i cant erase the times you hurt me and put tears on my face.

I like to walk around with bare feet and I don’t like to comb my hair.

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.

Acting is easier and smoother than singing – it’s less drama.

When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don’t know you think.

It’s easy to hear the voices of others and often very difficult to hear your own.

I think it’s important for women to be around other women and learn from each other.

I fell in love with music by listening to R&B, & it’s the core of who I am.

Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different.

Destiny’s Child will always be No.1 on my list.

Eeveryone says you can only fall in love one, but thats not true because every time i see you i fall in love with you all over again.

When you getting money, it’s hard to tell who is with you.

I want to be one of the biggest social media stars ever to become an actor.

I’ve been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

I’m still the same. That’s why the fans love me. Because they need stability in the industry.

I don’t walk around big headed. I’m not a superstar.

When I came into this industry, I was never afraid to be myself.

Acting was always a part and faucet of my life. It just comes very natural. I think it’s a good thing.

It’s easy to become very self-critical when you’re an actor. Then you get critiqued by the critics. Whether you agree with them or not, people are passing judgment on you.
