Beyonce Mania has taken over the cover and accompanying pages of "Gotham" magazine. Decked out in designs from Dior and Chanel, Beyonce went for a complete different look that sure her alter-ego Sasha Fierce wouldn't mind. Iconic status, perhaps? Apparently the theme for the photoshoot is traveling the world in couture.



Anyhow Beyonce talked briefly about how her hard work ethic that almost made her had a nervous breakdown. “Years ago, I was definitely headed for a breakdown,” she continues. “Just way too much work—my life was my career and I had no other life. It started when I was 15 and I hadn’t learned the importance of balance, making sure I took a day off. I didn’t know what ‘no’ was, what boundaries were. At this point, I know that after a certain amount of time I have to go home. I know what I like now. It just takes life experience to get a good balance. When you’re young, you don’t know what relaxes you.” [Gotham]
