Beyonce Knowles

"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 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!"

"I'm always happy when I'm surrounded by water, I think I'm a Mermaid or I was a mermaid.The ocean makes me feel really small and it makes me put my whole life into perspective… it humbles you and makes you feel almost like you’ve been baptized. I feel born again when I get out of the ocean."

"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."

"I discovered after going to music festivals that I am a rock fan. I love the guitars, the phrasing, and the abandon of rock fans."
