She’s won the megastar game with a dazzling mix of talent, sex appeal and ferocious drive. How 24-year-old Beyoncé Knowles embarks on the most provocative stage of her career with a new CD and an eagerly-awaited movie.
Beyonce opened up and let us inside her world for the new issue of Giant. Here are a few choice bits…
On the real pain of losing:
“When women are in a relationship, even if the man is trifling or cheating and he’s wrong and ignores you and you end up not wanting him, the thought of another woman benefiting from what you taught him kills you.”
On constantly testing herself:
“Everything I do, I want it to challenge me and make me better. If something’s easy, the excitement is gone. I don’t like to be bored, and I don’t like to be comfortable.”
On dealing with pressure:
“I don’t mind pressure. I’m very good under pressure. But I wanna put myself under pressure, not be pressured by someone else, or else I’m angry and it blocks my creativity.”
