A few days ago we revealed Beyonce’s GQ magazine cover; and today we unveil a few excerpts and photos from the “ Dance For Me” singer’s nterview spread. Similar to the cover photo, Beyonce is showing off all of her curves [including her washboard stomach which seems to have snapped back perfectly post birth to baby Blue-Ivy] . Okay! whether photshop or not -I so ENVY Beyonce right now.
Motherhood has surely changed the star because Bey is stepping back into the limelight with a more bold and “Sasha Fierce” attitude more than we’ve seen before. As she preps for her HUGE first time performance at the NFL Superbowl half-time show, In the the mag, Beyonce talks about the significance of her upcoming performance as it relates to her athlete persona when she’s performs live shows.
“One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete. You know how they sit down and watch whoever they’re going to play and study themselves? That’s how I treat this. I watch my performances, and I wish I could just enjoy them, but I see the light that was late. I see, ‘Oh God, that hair did not work.’ Or ‘I should never do that again.’ I try to perfect myself. I want to grow, and I’m always eager for new information.”
On Feminism:
“You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don’t make as much money as men do. I don’t understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat? I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.”
On Her Accomplishments:
“I worked so hard during my childhood to meet this goal: By the time I was 30 years old, I could do what I want. I’ve reached that. I feel very fortunate to be in that position. But I’ve sacrificed a lot of things, and I’ve worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it.”
On Being On The Stage:
” I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it, because before I gave birth, it was the only time in my life, all throughout my life, that I was lost.”[ She means this in a good way: When her brain turns off, it is, frankly, a relief.] It’s like a blackout. When I’m onstage, I don’t know what the crap happens. I am gone.”
