Famous Quotes of R&B singer, songwriter and Actress - Beyonce Knowles
I am very conscious of how I look and my image and how I am with people. I have a team and we've been working together since I was 15, so every show, every earring, every shade of eye shadow is all something that comes from me and my team. I'm very much a perfectionist, and even before I was a pop star, or celebrity or whatever you want to call whatever I am, I was always that way. Always!

Losing the weight for the film (Dreamgirls) was my idea. I wanted to go all the way. I was inspired by what Tom Hanks did for Cast Away. The weight loss worked because on screen you can see my character transform from this baby-fat-faced girl to a thin, sophisticated, chic woman. It wasn't healthy though. Immediately, the next day, I ate fried chicken, fried fish, French fries - anything fried - and the weight started to come on really fast and easy. I've put on 10 of the pounds back on again. I was too skinny.

It was so difficult. I was starving for six months, but I made it through. I literally fasted. A drink gave me the vitamins I needed and I didn’t eat for 14 days and then I just drank protein shakes. It was hard and I felt weak, but I did it. It's not healthy but it was necessary.

There's plenty of days when I'm like 'Oh God, why?' But that's just life. It's every job, not just mine. Every moment is not perfect. But it's definitely more good times than bad....And when I'm on stage it feels incredible. There are certain nights that you know you hit that crazy note and you know that spin spinned extra fast. And you look out and people are just into it and you've worked so hard and now it's paying off and you can see why you dedicated your life to this.
