20 Beyoncé Facts Only a Real Beyhive Member Would Know

In 2006, Beyoncé spoke about her alter ego in an interview, saying that she is "too aggressive, too strong, too sassy, and too sexy," adding, "I wouldn't like Sasha if I met her offstage." She went on to admit that she's not "flirtatious and super-confident and fearless" like Sasha. "I created my stage persona to protect myself so that when I go home I don't have to think about what it is I do," she said, adding, "The people around me know who I really am."
