Beyonce 'Not Ready' For Children

Beyonce seems to have it all - a hot career, a good marriage (she tied the knot with Jay-Z) and she earns an estimated $80 million a year. Still, the 27-year-old says she's not quite ready for kids just yet!

"One day," she says. "I'm really patient. I wasn't in a rush to get married. I'm not in a rush to have children. Because I work so much, I'm just not ready yet."

Beyonce was in the delivery room for the birth of her nephew, Daniel - even though she "begged my sister, 'please don't make me, 'cos it's going to traumatize me.'" - and she admits that, although childbirth is "amazing" and she "cried when he was born", she's "scared of that!"

"I mean it was amazing, and I cried when he was born. And I can't believe that we as human beings have the power to create another human being. But it's hard."

She goes on to say that she knows it's "a lot of work" and "you have to be ready to be ready to be responsible for another human being."

"And I guess I want to be so good at it. I want to make sure that I'm ready so I can give my focus to my kid. When it happens it's supposed to happen and it will. You know, I over-analyse everything, and I want to be the best at it, and maybe that's just me being an over-achiever. I just wish I was better at everything."
