Love: Beyonce x Complex August September '11

Beyonce's promo blitz continues as she covers the art and design issue of Complex. I was really surprised at how candid she is in this interview, especially how she speaks of her own talent. I love how definitive, mature and self aware she is. 

Some of my favorite quotes:

On Jay-Z :

“Jay’s music is more than music. His lyrics have fathered generations,” she says of her husband of three years. “All that he has overcome gives millions so much hope. There are moments when I see his lips moving and I can see lyrics floating above his head and I think, ‘Wow! How did I get so lucky to be able to witness this level of genius so closely’”

On rivalries with other artists, namely Rihanna:  

“There is room on this earth for many queens. “I have an authentic, God-given talent, drive, and longevity that will always separate me from everyone else. I’ve been fortunate to accomplish things that the younger generation of queens dream of accomplishing. I have no desire for anyone else’s throne. I am very comfortable in the throne I’ve been building for the past 15 years.”
