She said: "My marriage is a power struggle. But if I didn't respect someone, and they didn't have that strength, then I would be bored. I wouldn't be attracted to them."

Beyonce also revealed her mother Tina was banned from the set when she filmed upcoming movie "Cadillac Records," because she wasn't used to seeing her daughter curse.

Beyonce, who plays blues singer Etta James in the film, added to America's Elle magazine: "My mom had to leave the set. I don't normally curse. Maybe twice a year. I have to be really livid. Somebody saying things or scheduling something where I'm not in control."

"Cursing was freeing, but the shoot was also the most emotionally draining time of my life. Every day I would come home - my eyes would be completely swollen."
