Once I had my son, I stopped shopping in stores because it's not an easy process to try on clothes - and I'm not an impulsive buyer. I need to do the dance in front of the mirror, the whole nine yards.

It's really special to have a niece because I have a son, so I get to have a little girl, too.

I never borrowed clothes from Beyonce when we were growing up. But now my style is a little more tame and hers is a little more adventurous.

I have a lot of guy-like quintessential relationship qualities that I have had to work on.

I have always had tremendous respect for my sister as an artist, as a woman, and now as a mother.

My sister and I were not allowed expensive clothes. We so badly wanted these Fila sneakers as kids, but my mother took us down to the flea market and got imitation ones. Look at the early Destiny's Child videos. You'll see.
