Grammy-winner Beyonce has talked about music, family and fame, which she says can feel like prison at times. In a magazine interview  to promote her new whiskey line, Beyonce said, “I create at my own pace, on things that I hope will touch other people. I hope my work encourages people to look within themselves and come to terms with their own creativity, strength, and resilience.”

She said that she focuses on “storytelling, growth, and quality.” Beyonce added, “I’m not focused on perfectionism. I focus on evolution, innovation, and shifting perception. Working on the music for Cowboy Carter and launching this exciting new project feel nothing like prison, nor a burden.”
