Ladies hitmaker said that the pressures of being a celebrity have taken everything away from her that would allow her to enjoy a normal lifestyle,
Contactmusic reported.
"I just sacrificed life. Being able to walk down the street and being able to make mistakes and not have it recorded for ever," Beyonce said. "Being able to have regular relationships and dates. Just regular, normal things that people probably don't even think about. Sometimes it's hard," she added.
The 28-year-old R'n'B star whose career spans more than 14 years including albums with group Destiny's Child and later as a solo artist has hardly ever had any chance to take a break. "I haven't had longer than a couple of months off ever in my life, since I was 15. But I was raised that anything that's worth anything takes a lot of sacrifice. And when anything is too easy for me I get scared," Beyonce said.
The singer however, is hoping to take some time out of her busy schedule for herself in the next year."After a couple of dates in February and a couple of award shows, I promised myself that that it's time to smell the roses. I'm going to take --hopefully-- a couple of months off," Beyonce added.
