How does Beyonce want to be remembered?
You'll never hear Beyonce complaining about her weight or whining for attention. That's because, unlike Khloe Kardashian and so many other celebrities, this star possesses actual talent.
She also has an admirable view on life, telling the latest issue of Complex:
"Whenever I feel bad, I use that feeling to motivate me to work harder. I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. People who complain really get on my nerves. When I'm not feeling my best I ask myself, 'What are you gonna do about it?' I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me."
The artist is in the prime of her career, of course, but she also touches on her legacy in this interview. How does she want to be remembered?
"I just want my legacy to be great music. Someone who was a risk taker and someone who had songs that struck conversation and emotion."

Aftab detained at Tel Aviv airport
Aftab Shivdasani was questioned about his frequent visits to the Gulf countries.
On Saturday, the actor was detained for interrogation at the Tel Aviv airport while on his way to Istanbul for a short holiday at the end of the annual 10-day fest.
His frequent visits to the Gulf countries as recorded in his passport apparently caught the attention of the airport authorities.
Reveals a close friend, "They asked him all sorts of questions, right from his purpose for visiting the Gulf countries so frequently and people he knew there to what his name meant. Apart from the interrogation, the actor's bags were also checked very thoroughly. Each item was checked manually and then put separately through the screening machine. His iPod and iPhone weren't spared either. The officials even insisted on going through his message inbox to double check things".
In 2009, actor Shah Rukh Khan went through a similar ordeal, where he was detained for nearly two hours at the Newark airport after participating in an Indian Independence function in New York.
Katrina to do item in Salman, Kareena Bodyguard
Katrina Kaif will be a part of Salman Khan's forthcoming film Bodyguard. And she won't just do an ordinary cameo. The actress is all set to sizzle in an item number that will play during the opening credits of the film. In fact, after her success with Sheila Ki Jawaani, it was Salman who requested his ex-girlfriend to be a part of the opening-credit item number. Needless, to say, leading lady Kareena Kapoor hasn't taken this news too well.
A source revealed, "When Salman asked Katrina to be a part of Bodyguard, she didn't even blink before saying 'yes'. But on hearing Salman's grand plans for the item number Katrina got a little unsure.
Salman's brief was simple, an item song for the opening credits that would put Sheila to shame. Considering Kareena was the leading lady of the film, Katrina feared that this might not go down too well with her. However, when Kat told Salman about her cause of worry, he said that he'll take care of Bebo."
The item number in question has been assigned to Himesh Reshammiya for the music and Ganesh Acharya for the scintillating steps. Interestingly, both Himesh and Ganesh are Salman protégés.
The item number in question will be on the lines of James Bond opening credits. So Katrina has to now match up to the Bond girls for Bodyguard. "It's a challenge for Katrina to take the item song beyond Sheila Ki Jawaani.
She has already started preparing for it. She's been watching the James Bond credit songs in Goldfinger, Octopussy and other Bond films to get an idea of the same," said the source.
Despite Salman's claims of taking care of Bebo, the leading lady is not too happy about Katrina's intrusion in the film. Bebo who had maintained for the past few years that she would like to work in single heroine films, apparently is miffed with the addition of an item number to be picturised on Kaif. This however, seems not to have affected the filmmakers' decision.
