Beyonce recently chatted with GQ Magazine for their October cover story, where she discussed her music and her newest business venture: a whiskey line.
She also addressed the difficulties of maintaining privacy in an era where information is constantly available and frequently inaccurate.
"We live in a world of access," Beyonce stated.
We have access to so much information—some facts and some complete bullshit disguised as truth. Our children can FaceTime and see their friends at any given moment. My husband and I? We used calling cards and Skype when we were falling in love. I couldn’t afford the international hotel bills, so I literally would get international calling cards to call him," she continued.
"Just recently, I heard an AI song that sounded so much like me it scared me. It’s impossible to truly know what’s real and what’s not," she added.
Beyonce emphasised the importance of privacy and her commitment to keeping her personal life separate from her public persona.
She explained, "One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand. It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art. I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family.
"No amount of money is worth my peace," she added.
