Last week, GQ finally released the sexy photo shoot and interview with Beyoncé for their February issue. Now, if you haven't had a chance to sink your teeth into the Q&A portion, let's just say that some of that confidence on her husband Jay-Z has definitely rubbed off on her.

While there is a moment where Bey shows some vulnerability (“I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it. Because before I gave birth, it was the only time in my life, all throughout my life, that I was lost.”) and a her pursuit of perfection (" I watch my performances, and I wish I could just enjoy them, but I see the light that was late. I see, ‘Oh God, that hair did not work.’ Or ‘I should never do that again.’ I try to perfect myself. I want to grow, and I’m always eager for new information.”), there is also a moment that just seems like swagger at a hundred thousand trillion. When discussing something as simple as her power, Beyoncé said, “I now know that, yes, I am powerful. I’m more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand.” Damn. 

Hit the link here to see the rest of the interview where she talks about “The Beyonce Archive,” which houses every work, photograph, etc. in a "temperature-controlled storage facility." We're serious about that last one.
