I Embrace Mistakes, They Make You Who

I'm Always Thinking About Women, And What We Need To Hear. It's Difficult Being A Woman. It's So Much Pressure, And We Need That Support Sometimes And We Need That Escape Sometimes.

I'm Over Being A Pop Star. I Don't Wanna Be A Hot Girl. I Wanna Be Iconic. And I Feel Like I've Accomplished A Lot. I Feel Like I'm Highly Respected, Which Is More Important Than Any Award Or Any Amount Of Records. And I Feel Like There Comes A Point When Being A Pop Star Is Not Enough.

And My Husband And I Have Been Together For 10 Years, So I Guess People Felt A Part Of It And It Makes Me Feel Really Good

I Never Imagined I Would Be In A Film With Steve Martin. I Was A Little Star Struck, Because I Grew Up Watching His Movies.

I Remember Being In Japan When Destiny's Child Put Out 'independent Women,' And Women There Were Saying How Proud They Were To Have Their Own Jobs, Their Own Independent Thinking, Their Own Goals. It Made Me Feel So Good, And I Realized That One Of My Responsibilities Was To Inspire Women In A Deeper Way.
