I'm A Workaholic And I Don't Believe In 'no.' If I'm Not Sleeping, Nobody's Sleeping.

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 Don't Feel Like I Have To Please Anyone. I Feel Free. I Feel Like I'm An Adult. I'm Grown. I Can Do What I Want. I Can Say What I Want. I Can Retire If I Want. That's Why I've Worked Hard.

I Just Hope People Don't Get Sick Of Us. I'm Sick Of Us And I'm In Destiny's Child.

I Wrote "bootylicious" Because, At The Time, I’d Gained Some Weight And The Pressure That People Put You Under, The Pressure To Be Thin, Is Unbelievable.

It’s A Celebration Of Curves And A Celebration Of Women’s Bodies.
