Tina Knowles : (5) " Diana Ross… she’s the bomb. " - Tina Knowles " When Beyonce began singing in earnest, she was 10 years old. " - Tina Knowles " You want kids to dream big. " - Tina Knowles " As a teenager, my brother’s girlfriend came into my life, and I just thought she was the bomb. I followed her around, and she could just say anything, and it would influence me. She took me to my first nice restaurant, bought me my first nice handbag, and took me to my first Alvin Ailey show when I was 14, which changed my life. " - Tina Knowles " I don’t post pictures of my grandchildren unless I get permission. I’m really respectful about that. If I feel like anything is invasive of someone’s privacy, I don’t do that, either. Sometimes I have great pictures, but I’m like, ‘Eh, maybe this is not right.’ " - Tina Knowles
