Beyonce Traded Her Personal Life For Success
Beyonce said she has sacrificed her entire life in becoming successful.
The ‘Single Ladies’ singer said that the pressures of celebrity have taken everything away from her that would allow her to enjoy a normal lifestyle.
“I just sacrificed life. Being able to walk down the street and being able to make mistakes and not have it recorded for ever.
“Being able to have regular relationships and dates. Just regular, normal things that people probably don't even think about. Sometimes it's hard.”
Beyonce, 28, also said that during her career she has hardly ever had any chance to take a break.
“I haven't had longer than a couple of months off ever in my life, since I was 15.
“But I was raised that anything that's worth anything takes a lot of sacrifice. And when anything is too easy for me I get scared.”
The ‘Halo’ hitmaker also said, however, she’s promised to take some time out of her recording and touring schedule to keep for herself next year.
“After a couple of dates in February and a couple of award shows, I promised myself that that it's time to smell the roses.
“I'm going to take – hopefully – a couple of months off. I'm not going to plan anything. I'll perhaps take some art classes, I'll visit some museums and I'll check out some shows on Broadway. I'd like to travel somewhere – maybe Egypt – without anyone, without any security, and focus on things I've always wanted to do myself.”
Easier said than done right? Imagine Beyonce traveling without any security detail? Things could get very ugly rather quickly.

People who say this are full of it. They CAN walk away from it, they CAN have a normal life but they DONT want to because their EGO wont let them. Nobody would know where celebrities are if it wasnt because they are always bringing attention to themselves with their huge entourage, security, dog's security, etc., if they dont have a huge crowd waiting for them at the airport or at their hotel then they are not really having a vacation.

Let's see... I've taken off maybe two weeks at a time since I was 15... other than the time I was having children, then it was back to work at 6 weeks... I'd say the average person hasn't taken months off at a time, either. It's called living paycheck to paycheck. You know, like a LOT of people do?? I wish these people would THINK before they open their mouths and let their egos speak FOR them.

She and her husband have an impressive fortune between them, and can afford to take time off, and pick and choose their projects. And I really wish they would take some time away from the public eye. I find it difficult to feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have to get up and take public transit to work on a cold, rainy Monday morning.
BS! She chooses not to have a personal life. She must be afraid someone willl take her place if she takes time off, which I personally wish she would.

That IS the price of success. Beyonce is not one to typically complain either but here she just sounds kind of regretful.
