Beyonce Knowles Filmography

• "It's really silly. I wrote a song called 'Bootylicious,' maybe three years ago. And now the word is in the dictionary. To be honest, I hate the word."
• "I’m a good person and I don’t think I’ll be left on my own. I don’t know when I’ll meet a man — I think I’m rushing it. But I am tired of working and not having someone."
• “I mean, if I do get a couple of days off, what am I going to do? I have started painting and getting interested in art. I love going to theme parks and skating.I can do those by myself but I want to experience those things with somebody else. I have to start experiencing life and going on dates or I’ll always be by myself.
• But I don’t know what guys I like because I haven’t been out with enough to know. I’m still learning.
• “I’ve had small depressions, days when I’ve woken up and felt sad, especially when I’m so far away from home. I’ve got my religion and that is my therapy, although I think it would be good for me to have someone I can talk to. But I have friends. I haven’t got a therapist but maybe I should.”
• I was so shy and when my sister was born I found it hard. I was really strange and kind of too quiet.
• “I’ve worked hard and I deserve everything I have. I never thought I’d have so much money. I just wanted to be financially stable and it embarrasses me and I don’t feel comfortable talking or thinking about it. I don’t know exactly how much I have but I don’t buy much."
• “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 don’t flaunt my money. I like to stay at nice hotels but I’m not a flashy chick. I haven’t got much jewellery or anything.
• "Acting is easier and smoother than singing — it’s less drama. But I love singing on stage."
• Destiny’s Child will always be No.1 on my list.
• “The more successful I get, the more I want a boyfriend,"
• "But it's hard. Where am I going to meet somebody? Maybe at an awards show? Or on tour?"
• "I could say to the security guard, 'OK, he can come over,' but I don't want to have to tell somebody he can come talk to me. It just feels forced, like I'm out there looking and I picked the one I want. That's just whacked."
• "We look so unhappy and bored, no one is ever going to come up to us. And because of security, no one can get to us anyway.
