Superstar Beyoncé Knowles reveals to Essence Magazine about having her mother as a role model and life outside of the spotlight.
Covering the July issue of the magazine, the “Run the World (Girls)” singer noted how much of an impact her mother has been in her life.
“Tina Knowles was my first example of what a powerful woman is. She shaped my thinking not so much by what she said, but what she did. My mother taught me the principles of hard work, setting my own goals and visualizing my future.”
During her year out of the limelight she also explained, “After the tour ended in Trinidad in late February, at last I focused on taking some time off. I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do all the things I never get to do. Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband.”
