On being married and divorced at a young age:
“I was lucky with Julez,” she reflects. “I was completely lost when we moved to Idaho, out in the country, and I devoted everything to him.” The marriage didn’t last, though, and Knowles filed for divorce in 2006. “In a lot of ways, emotionally and mentally, I feel far older than 27,” she says. “Just going through a marriage and a divorce—which I essentially did by 21—will give you an insane amount of perspective on life.”

“We co-parent really well,” she says. “I’m able to say, ‘I need to finish this album, can you step up and take care of the boy?’ ”
On making bad music choices:
“I still stand behind the stuff I did early on, but I was on a record label and I didn’t have a lot of creative control,” she says. “Another side of that is just being young and having bad taste. There was plenty of that too.”

On her fashion sense:
“I have always been drawn to interesting pieces and colors, but I didn’t quite know how to limit myself and make those statement pieces work.”

On her current love life:
“Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago. My love life has been stable for a while,” she says, adding wryly, “It’s a fucked-up thing—without conflict it’s a lot harder to write interesting songs.”
