| BEYONCé: 'I WANNA BE ICONIC' Blog |
Forget mere celebrity. Beyoncé says she aspires to icon status.
"There is a time limit on being a pop star, yes," the Grammy-winning singer tells the October issue of Marie Claire's U.K. edition. "Being a legend, an icon? Absolutely not."
"I'm over being a pop star," Beyoncé, 26, adds. "I don't wanna be a hot girl – I wanna be iconic."
Still, she admits to being frustrated with the demands of her career: "There are responsibilities that come along with this life ... trying to have a romantic meal without someone sneaking in to film the whole thing," says Beyoncé, who married Jay-Z in April. "I have to work really hard and it's fine because I like it, I love it, but it's a lot of sacrifice." Acknowledging the challenges of being a minority in Hollywood, Beyoncé gives a nod to her own role models: "I think I'm opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry and Diana Ross opened doors for me."
The singer also expressed a sense of excitement for the political future. Regarding Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, she says, "I'm really proud. I think we're making a bit of progress, it's an exciting time. We all feel part of our country now."

The singer also opens up about her onstage alter ego, "Sasha," adding that there are "things I do when performing I would never do normally."
As "Sasha," she says, "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."
Beyonce — who drops a new album in November — admits there is a time limit on being a singer.
"I'm over being a pop star," she says. "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 adds. "And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough."
As she celebrates her 27th birthday today, she says, "I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies.
Look back on Beyonce's 27 years of style.
"And I do think that I'm opening doors for more black women, just like Halle [Berry] and Diana Ross opened doors for me."
