“My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.”

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.

Don’t try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.

In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.

Believe nothing of me except that I felt your beauty more closely than my own.

For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

We are God’s gift to each other. Like a master composer, He brings all the instruments together, each with a different tone, each playing a different part, and He makes it turn out so beautifully.

It’s sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

Lacking strength beauty hates the understanding for asking of her what it cannot do.
