Beyonce covers the August/September 2011 issue of Complex magazine. The singer talks about her new album, 4, rumored rivalries with other singers and how she hates complainers. More pictures excerpt after the break:
On how she deals with feeling down: Whenever I feel bad, I use that feeling to motivate me to work harder,” says a much wiser, more mature Beyoncé, who learned from some early ordeals, including a period of depression during the first breakup of her first group, Destiny’s Child. “I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. People who complain really get on my nerves. When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.”
On the supposed rivalry between her and Kelly Rowland and 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.”
On her legacy: “I just want my legacy to be great music. Someone who was a risk taker and someone who had songs that struck conversation and emotion.”
