Beyoncé Knowles lends her voice to Nickelodeon's kids' cartoon Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!

"She's a very sweet young lady," Beyoncé says of her character. "Whenever Wubbzy needs a little help or a friend, she's right there with The Wubb Girlz to give him a helping hand. I think Shine is pretty cool."

"Music is very, very important to me. It has given me so much confidence and it’s given me purpose in my life," she adds. "When I was a little baby my father would play music to me and one of my first memories is dancing to Stevie Wonder. When I was five I performed for the first time and I found my first love. I think I was able to avoid a lot of negative things in life because I had goals and because I was so focused on music. I am so, so lucky to be a musician.

"I know it's very difficult for a person to become a professional singer. But the best thing you can do for your child is encourage them, help them, teach them, sing with them, make sure you go to their performances."
