“My fans kept asking where they could get clothes like 'Destiny's Child...” — Beyonce Knowles Quote

My fans kept asking where they could get clothes like 'Destiny's Child's', so it was only natural for us to do a clothing line. I was adamant about not putting my name on something that I didn't love.

If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow.

When I was writing the Destiny's Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn't know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it.

I like to walk around with bare feet and I don't like to comb my hair.

I know this sounds a bit mad, but I always take a tiny green cut-out leprechaun - about the size of a fingernail - with me. My mother gave it to me because we're Irish. She's adamant that it brings good luck.

My mother really wanted me to go to school and to university, but I was adamant that I wanted to be a football player.

I was quite adamant that I will not change my name as it was given by my parents.

Einstein was adamant in rejecting all ideas of a personal god.

Yes, I can be rigid and adamant about a point of view.
