Beyonce Knowles got a chance to grab the Marie Claire cover, and also did a very interesting interview.
Here are a couple highlights.
On why she uses her alter ego ‘Sasha’
“Things I do when I am performing I would never do normally”
“I always wish I could feel the way I do on stage when I’m doing a movie because I have out of body experiences…I’m so fearless”
On who her song ‘Irresistible’ is about
“The obvious person is not the person at all”
On being a pop star
“There is a time limit on being a pop star yes, being a legend, an icon, absolutely not”
“I’m over being a popstar, I don’t wanna be a hot girl I wanna be iconic”
“There are responsibilities that come along with this life…trying to have a romantic meal without someone sneaking in to film the whole thing. I have to work really hard and it’s fine because I like it, I love it, but it’s a lot of sacrifice”
On being a role model
“ I think I’m opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry and Diana Ross opened doors for me”
On Barack Obama
“I’m really proud, I think we’re making a bit of progress, it’s an exciting time. We all feel part of our country now”
