Bits and pieces of Beyonce’s Essence Magazine cover story have started to make their way onto the interenet and Beyonce seems to be opening up and sharing parts of her closely guarded life.
Beyonce On Keeping Her LIfe Private
“I feel that, especially now, with the Internet and paparazzi and camera phones, it’s so difficult to maintain mystery. And that’s so important. Even in a relationship, I feel like not being that accessible is really important. If you think about Prince or Michael Jackson, or any superstars, you couldn’t see them when they got off their planes or when they got out of the pool and didn’t comb their hair. It’s great that people see we’re not perfect. But it’s almost impossible to have superstars now, because people will never get enough. And it’s not even about my music. It’s about all the things that people imagine about me in their minds. But I can’t satisfy everyone. I know that Jay and I probably do inspire people. And I appreciate people feeling proud. But this is the only way I’ve been able to stay sane, so why would I start talking now?

Her Relationship With Jay
“We decide everything. My word is my word. What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real.”On Getting Tattoos instead of engagement rings
“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material, and it’s just silly to me”
