“I’m always happy when I’m surrounded by water. I think I’m a mermaid, or I was a mermaid.”

Interesting start to a documentary, Mrs. Knowles-Carter. Beyoncé‘s 20-minute documentary, “Year of 4,” aired for the first time on Vh1, MTV and BET on Thursday, but it probably won’t be the last time. The short film documents Beyoncé’s life over the past year as she worked on her newly released album, 4.

Even with fans flocking around her constantly, Beyoncé always seems so calm and collected in the limelight. In this movie, we finally get to see Beyoncé behind-the-scenes. She talks about recovering from her last tour, finding the inspiration for her next album, and gathering the strength to jump back onto the stage.

Take a look.
