Beyonce is considered many things - pop icon and sex symbol are just a few that
come to mind - but she defines herself as a humanist.The 33-year-old has released a new short film Yours And Mine
starring her adorable daughter Blue Ivy, two, to commemorate the one year
anniversary of her self-titled visual album.In the revealing eleven and a half minute montage, Queen Bey
breaks down in tears as she opens up about her struggle with celebrity, views
on feminism, and her thoughts on marriage.The black and white clip is intercut with images from her
visual album as the 7/11 singer waxes philosophical.
During the more revealing moments, as she discusses her
complex relationship with fame, Bey sports short cropped blonde hair as tears
stream down her face. 'I sometimes wish I could be anonymous walking down the
street like everyone else,' she admits. 'Before I was famous I was the girl on
the hill with a guitar. I was the girl that just wanted a beautiful view of the
beach. Now that I'm famous it's really, really difficult to do very simple
things.'
'I think it's the hardest thing to give up, but my mother always taught me to
be strong and to never be a victim, never make excuses, never expect anyone
else to provide me things that I know I can provide for myself,' the singer
said with emotion. 'I have dreams and I feel like I have a power to actually
make those dreams become a reality. When you're famous, no one looks at you as
a human anymore. You become property of the public. There's nothing real about
it.'
She went on to explain: 'You can't put your finger on who I
am. I can't put my finger on who I am. I am complicated. I grew up with a lot
of conflict and dramas and I've been through a lot, just like everyone
else.'
