In a frank new interview, she also revealed she got starstruck when she met Clint Eastwood.
The R 'n' B star performed two songs off her new album 4 in an appearance in daytime talk show The View and also opened up about taking some time off work in the last year.
“It was beginning to get fuzzy, I couldn’t even tell which day or which city I was at. I would sit at award shows and they would give me an award and I was just thinking about the next performance.
“I never really thought about how fortunate I was – it was onto the next project and the next day.”
Instead, she did some travelling and accompanied husband Jay-Z on tour.
“I went to see museums, ballets, the Great Wall of China, the Louvre – everywhere I had been to but never got to see,” said Beyonce, 30 in September.
Asked who she was, she had to think for a second before saying: “I’m a wife. I’m a daughter. I’m a friend… and I’m a woman. I thought 30 was so old back then! You know, one day (it will happen).
“That’s something that God has to decide. When it happens, it happens. I’m just so happy to be in this place in my life.”
Beyonce then confirmed she is working on a remake of A Star is Born, playing the role made famous by Judy Garland in 1954.
She said she was very excited to meet Clint Eastwood, set to direct the project. “He was so elegant and very charming and witty,” she said. “I was so star-struck, didn’t know what to say! I was so honoured that he believed in me.'
