BEYONCE OPENS UP ABOUT HER "MORE SENSUAL, AGGRESSIVE" ALTER-EGO

Beyonce Knowles has named her new double album I Am ... Sasha Fierce after her alter ego.
"I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work," she tells Reuters. "When I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created kind of protects me and who I really am."
She adds, "Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage."
Look back at Beyonce's style hits and misses over the years.
The singer, 27, has said there are "things I do when performing I would never do normally."
As "Sasha," she recently told October's British Marie Claire, "I have out-of-body experiences. If I cut my leg, if I fall, I don't even feel it. I'm so fearless, I'm not aware of my face or my body."

She also admitted there is a time limit on being a singer.
"I'm over being a pop star," she said. "I don't wanna be a hot girl. I wanna 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," she added. "And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough."
I Am ... Sasha Fierce drops Nov. 18.
