ON JAY-Z

What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real..

ON HER LEGACY

I don’t want to be remembered as a member of this huge group that, you know, did whatever. I want to be acknowledged as a woman in a very talented group with great harmonies and great songs that made history and changed the culture of women, not only in America but all over the world. (A woman) who could sing a cappella and write her own songs and produce her own songs.
