Beyonce Knowles "over being a pop star"

The 'Crazy in Love' singer - who shot to fame in hit R'n'B group Destiny's
Child - admits she now feels it is time she is considered an "icon" in the
music industry.
She said: "I'm over being a pop star. I don't want to be a hot girl. I want
to 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 now think I'm opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry
and Diana Ross opened doors for me."
Beyonce - who starred in 2006 movie 'Dreamgirls' and can soon be seen
portraying legendary singer Etta James in upcoming movie 'Cadillac Records'
- also spoke about her alter-ago who she calls 'Sasha', explaining when she
acts as 'Sasha' she has a lot more confidence.
She added to Britain's Marie Claire magazine: "Things I do when I am
performing I would never do normally. I always wish I could feel the way I
do on stage when I'm doing a movie because I have out of body experiences.
I'm so fearless."
