Famous Quotes of R&B singer, songwriter and Actress - Beyonce Knowles
I'm a fan of a few Bollywood films. I have seen Devdas (2002/I) and Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001), both great films. I loved Devdas (2002/I) - the actress was amazing! I cried towards the end of the film. Indian films are very colorful. It can be fun to do a film like that at least once. Given a chance, I'd love to do an Indian film.

For me, it's about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It's where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that's very important to me. But I understand the mentality of people. I know that people judge others based on certain things. I know how celebrities really are. I've done it too. You meet people - rock stars, rappers, whoever - who you have seen on television and you go into their homes and they are regular people, just like everyone else.

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life. But I don't see that having a sexy image when you are on stage means that you don't love God. No one knows what I'm really like from that. I like to walk around with bare feet and I don't like to comb my hair. I'm always so glammed up and so diva on stage and that's what they see. People don't understand that... No one knows my personal relationship with God and it's not up to me to prove that to anyone.

I wrote that because, at the time, I'd gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable. I was just 18 and you shouldn't be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character and having fun and the song was just telling everyone just forget what people are saying, you're bootylicious. That's all. It's a celebration of curves and a celebration of women's bodies.

I know that it's no coincidence that not only was I born 25 years ago, but so was Dreamgirls. And so was Jennifer Hudson. I think we were both born for these roles. I don't think it's just a coincidence that we were brought on this earth in the same year. I've been preparing for this character my whole life. Even without me knowing

There is always a lot of stress when you're making a new album, that's why there were only very few people who knew that i was working on B-Day. Not even my father knew anything about it!

I figured I needed to invest in something and I really love art. I don't buy cars. The first check I got when I was 16, I bought a car and I haven't bought a car since. I don't buy jewelry. I bought a really big diamond ring when I was 16, wore it and everyone said I was engaged, so I was like, 'I can't even wear it.' I haven't bought anything else since. I really am kinda cheap.
