I’ve had the same car for five years – it’s a convertible Jag which I bought with my own money. It’s very Austin Powers.
I have two different sides to my personality. I decided to give my fans what they want and who they are used to who is the person in all the videos and the person in ‘Crazy in Love’ who is Sasha Fierce. I have someone else takes over when its time for me to work and when I’m on stage.

I don’t really like to call myself a brand, and I don’t like to think of myself as a brand. I’m a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. And an actress, and all the other things that I do. When you add it all together, some might call it a brand, but that’s not my focus.
I lost most of my weight from breastfeeding and I encourage women to do it; It’s just so good for the baby and good for yourself.
It’s amazing how I’m able to ride around on a bike. People kind of see it’s me but since I’m on a bike, they think, ‘No, it’s not her.’ And by the time they realize it’s me, I’m already gone.
To be able to travel the world, especially to places I never thought I’d be it’s really, you know, still fascinating for me.

Baby it’s you. You’re the one I love. You’re the one I need. You’re the only one I see.
I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.
I’m no longer afraid of conflict, and I don’t think conflict is a bad thing.
