Beyonce was very shy around children, and one of the reasons we put her in dance classes was so she'd have some little kid friends.
It's easy to make clothes for a model, but when you can put them on real women and real curves, that's the test.
Beyonce has long, muscular legs but is tall, thin, and very curvy, even voluptuous.
We have always been a family that's given back. We just don't make a lot of noise about it.
My mother, Agnes Dereon Beyince, was a seamstress and designer, and her passion passed down to me.
In high school, I had a singing group, and I designed the outfits and made my friends' prom dresses.
Yves Saint Laurent mascara is the best I've ever tried.
My girls do a lot of philanthropic work, but they are very private about it.
Beyonce, Solange, and my adopted daughter, Kelly Rowland, and I have always bonded over fashion.
Every woman deserves to look fashionable, whether a size 2 or 22.
I always have Trident gum with me because I talk to people all the time.
I taught my girls to pick up their own suitcases. Pretty is as pretty does.
Our lives haven't been picture-perfect.
I not only enjoy a really great friendship with both my girls but also a close mother-daughter bond as well.
You can find love at any age. You just have to go for it.
I loved Diahann Caroll growing up. I love a sophisticated, classy woman.
I never asked my children to do something I didn't show them that I could also do.
I think, when you value yourself and respect yourself, everything else just falls into place.
I was from this small town, and my parents were poor.
I'd like to reinforce that fact that if you put out positive stuff that that's what you get back.
I'm a grandmother, but I don't want to look like a grandmother. I still want to look sexy and sophisticated.
I'm a huge fan of Motown. When you saw them on stage, you saw sparkle... You saw attitude. They didn't have on t-shirt and jeans.
I'm always ready for more grandbabies.
I'm the makeover queen. I love to do makeovers on people.
In the music business, if you're not a fighter, you will get walked all over.
My ex-husband is my family.
