American music icon Beyoncé has spoken out about her dedication and hard work, stating she takes great pride in her accomplishments. The multiple Grammy-winning artist, who graces the cover of GQ Magazine’s October issue, reflected on her relentless work ethic, saying, “I have paid my dues a hundred times over. I have worked harder than anyone I know. And now I work smarter.”
Beyoncé, 43, emphasized that her ultimate reward is personal joy, explaining, “In the end, the biggest reward is personal joy. Has what I created pushed others to think freely and believe in the impossible? If the answer to that question is yes, then that is the gift.”
The “Brown Skin Girl” singer also revealed the profound connection she feels to her craft, stressing that singing is essential to her existence. “It is one of the deepest joys of my life, a necessity as vital as breath. Without singing, without music, without creating, I would be a walking dead,” she remarked.
With a total of 32 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé holds the record as the most awarded artist in Grammy history, solidifying her status as one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
