- Beyoncé: I said I'm going to take a risk and I'm going to bring R&B music back and I'm going to add bridges to songs and chord changes. I'm going to sing about love and do the opposite of what I thought I was going to do. I'm not going to try to be cool, forget being cool, I'm going to be honest, I'm going to be sad, I'm going to be passionate, I'm going to be vulnerable, I'm going to sing from my heart.
- Beyoncé: The baby is coming in three weeks. I feel anxious. These last three weeks are my last weeks responsible for myself. So, I'm trying to take care of my child like myself and enjoy my freedom for the last three weeks. This is going to be nothing in comparison to having a child.
- Beyoncé: So, this is my belly. I am 20 weeks. And as you can see, little plum-plum is ready for the world to know that he or she is here.
- Beyoncé: About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life... Being pregnant was very much like falling in love. You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There's no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone... . I flew back to New York to get my check up-and no heartbeat. Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat.
