TINA KNOWLES

I've heard complaints from women all over the country that plus-size clothes aren't sexy enough. You know, I'm a grandma, but I don't want to look like a grandma! I want to feel confident and sexy in the clothes. I like my stuff tapered and well-fitted, not all boxy.

I've read some things where people are like, 'Beyonce wants to be white' because she has blonde highlights in her hair, but it's ridiculous. You know, she is who she is, and she's a very proud black woman. I know people with natural hair that are the least black inside; you know, it doesn't matter.

There's a misconception that you have to match your shoes and your bag. It can be so cool to add a patterned or off-color heel.

Every woman deserves to look fashionable, whether a size 2 or 22.

We can still be sexy and vibrant, fashionable, classy, and fly until the day we die!

Artists are blessed to travel all over the world. They see the trends before they even come out.

I think, when you value yourself and respect yourself, everything else just falls into place.

You can dress sexy without going too far.

If you hold onto stuff, it holds on to you. It just weighs you down, and it's a waste of energy. Why would I waste my energy on being bitter and hating when I could be using it to go out and do some really good stuff, you know?

You want to have a relationship with a man, but, at the end of the day, you have to have some good ole girlfriends. When you are at your lowest, they are going to be there.

My mother was a very amazing woman. She was a very strong, remarkable woman.

I was from this small town, and my parents were poor.

Haters gonna be haters, and there's nothing we can do about that.

We pray before everything - videos, onstage, TV shows. I think that has a lot to do with being successful.

Sometimes people hear that you help somebody or you said something that really resonated with them that they really needed to hear. Sometimes people get motivated to go and do stuff. That makes me feel really good because I feel like I'm affecting people in a good way.

Yves Saint Laurent mascara is the best I've ever tried.

Diana Ross... she's the bomb.

I never asked my children to do something I didn't show them that I could also do.

Our lives haven't been picture-perfect.

I not only enjoy a really great friendship with both my girls but also a close mother-daughter bond as well.

You can find love at any age. You just have to go for it.

When I went through my divorce, I decided that I was going to pray this time for someone. Then, God sent me someone. I prayed for the specific qualities I wanted in a man, and I wasn't going to settle for anything less.

At 58, I knew I had to get a divorce. At that age, it's an almost impossible thing to go through. I had been married 33 years. I had been married for 33 years. I didn't know anything else.

When we say, 'We are starving,' we have to remember that there are people who are literally starving. If everyone fed one person, one meal, we could make a huge difference.

My 'Book of Prayer' is the most important thing I carry. If I'm tense about something or need to pray for protection for my kids, it always helps.
