Famous Quotes of R&B singer, songwriter and Actress - Beyonce Knowles
I used to watch her videos and I thought she was so cool. When she was teaching me the moves I thought, 'This is crazy, Shakira is showing me how to belly dance!' I got the best teacher. We didn't have a lot of time to come up with the choreography - most of it was done on the spot. I was just watching her and learning from her. It was so much fun, the best energy.

I can't believe I did it. But I had a lot of help and a lot of support.
