Beyoncé finds fame difficult

File - Beyoncé

Beyoncé wishes she was anonymous. The 33-year-old superstar - who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with husband Jay-Z - had admitted she sometimes finds her fame difficult because there are so many ordinary experiences that she has to miss out on.

She said: "Before I was famous I was the girl on the hill with a guitar. I was the girl that just wanted a beautiful view of the beach. Now that I'm famous it's really, really difficult to do very simple things.

"I think it's the hardest thing to give up, but my mother always taught me to be strong and to never be a victim, never make excuses, never expect anyone else to provide me things that I know I can provide for myself.

"I have dreams and I feel like I have a power to actually make those dreams become a reality. When you're famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become property of the public. There's nothing real about it."

Elsewhere in a short film, Yours and Mine, the 7/11 singer spoke about how 'exciting' she finds being married and having someone to share her life with.

She said: "People feel like they lose something when they get married, but it doesn't have to be that way. There's nothing more exciting about having a witness to your life ..."You know, everyone's not good at everything. You know? It's OK to depend on someone. It's actually what we're supposed to do -we're supposed to depend on each other. And when you find the person that you trust and you love and you feel is going to respect you and take all the st that you have and turn it around and bring out the best in you, it feeds you. It is the most powerful thing you can ever feel in your life.

"Happiness comes from you. No one else can make you happy. You make you happy. And one thing that's for sure: The love I have for the music, my husband, for my child — it's something that will last far beyond my life."
