BEYONCE SAY'S WHY SHE DOESN'T NEED SASHA FIERCE!

Judging by the attention Beyonce’s latest ad for House of Dereon has been receiving, the chick is still killing the game….even on her break. The UK’s Daily Mirror interviewed the superstar just before she took her hiatus from music and she discussed her future plans as well as the biggest challenge in her life. She also reveals that she believes female friends are very important and she would love to have kids one day. Check out a few excepts.

On Beauty

‘I think a beautiful woman is someone who is confident but not competitive with other women – someone who is warm to everyone. Because my mother told me ever since I can remember that beauty is from within, that looks will fade, I have always been aware that you have to have something deeper to be really beautiful.

On Why She Doesn’t Need Sasha Fierce

I don’t need Sasha so much any more because these days I know who I am. It takes time to figure out who you are and I am still discovering different things about myself – as I am exposed to different experiences I think, “Oh, I like this, I didn’t know I liked this.” That’s the journey of life that is so exciting. More and more I know who I am, I know what I like, I know what I want and that makes me feel so free. I don’t need to hide any more.

On Being A Feminist

I think I am a feminist in a way. It’s not something I consciously decided I was going to be; perhaps it’s because I grew up in a singing group with other women, and that was so helpful to me. It kept me out of so much trouble and out of bad relationships. My friendships with my girls are just so much a part of me that there are things I am never going to do that would upset that bond. I never want to betray that friendship because I love being a woman and I love being a friend to other women.

‘I think we learn a lot from our female friends – female friendship is very, very important. It’s good to support each other and I do try to put that message in my music,

On her biggest challenge

Probably the biggest challenge in my life is time – making sure I have time to be a wife, to be a singer, to be a songwriter, to be an actor and still have time for my clothing line and now for my perfume. I am like any other woman who has a child, who has a husband, who has a job. I think it’s the hardest thing about being a woman because we have so many responsibilities.
