For this year October issue of Marie Claire UK, Beyonce speaks on being over her pop star status. For some reason we are curious when Beyonce gives an interview, or Jay-Z, though they don’t say as much as we would want them to say. Beyonce admits during the interview that she is a workaholic, as there’s an as-yet untitled new album due out in November. On the other side there’s her movie career, co-starring Adrien Brody, which tells the story of Chicago label Chess Records.

I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.

I’ve been saying for a long time that I wanted to do something dark. People are going to be very shocked. It’s the complete opposite of me. It was very emotionally draining. I was exhausted.

I was really afraid. I didn’t know what I would see, because I’d never seen anything like that. I didn’t want to ask questions that were inappropriate, but [the people there] were very open and I have a new understanding. I never judge, but I just didn’t understand how, if you had children and so many things to lose, you could be so deep into your addiction that you just let all of that go.
