Beyoncé 'doesn't need Sasha Fierce'

Beyoncé has claimed that she no longer needs her alter ego Sasha Fierce.

The pop superstar has revealed that she has learned how to combine her true self with her stage persona.

Speaking to Allure, the 28-year-old said: "The thing that's interesting is I don't need Sasha Fierce anymore, because I've grown and I'm now able to merge the two.

"I want people to see me. I want people to see who I am... I always say, 'I don't want to lose my curves', I like firm curves. You can never do enough squats, you can never do enough sit-ups. But as far as losing too much weight or building too much muscle - I like for women to look feminine."

Beyoncé recently disclosed that she "definitely" wants to have a child in the future with husband Jay-Z.
