"We all know that you took some time off and I love how you said you wanted to step off the stage and join the audience," Robin Roberts said on Good Morning America. "What did you do?"
"I did everything you could imagine," Beyoncé shared. "I just really took my time to get to know myself. I learned how to appreciate everything that I've worked hard for. And it's something that my mother kept preaching to me because it's hard to see when you're moving around so fast. I really learned how to appreciate my family and all of my fans. And I realized all the impact that I've had on so many people and what a blessing and how fortunate I am to be able to touch so many people."
Beyonce also talked about her return to the big screen in Clint Eastwood's remake of A Star Is Born.
"Clint Eastwood. Can you believe that? I can't believe it still," Beyoncé revealed. "I know when I met with him I was just in awe. I am so, so honored that he believes in me and I can't wait to do this film. I represent this generation's talent and for me to be the chosen person — as an African American woman — is incredible!"
