The "Orange Is The New Black" star Laverne Cox says she learned the importance of hard work from Beyonce.
Cox, 32, said she looks upto the work ethics of the "Run The World" hitmaker, reported Female First.
"Beyonce represents excellence. Her work ethic is like nobody else I've ever seen.
"There were so many moments when I was shooting 'Rocky Horror' and I'd be exhausted. My body would be hurting and I'd be like, 'Beyonce. Beyonce does this.' You have to just put in the work," she said.
Apart from Beyonce, she is also a big fan of Tina Turner.
"The pain, pleasure, and agony of all she's been through is in her voice. Her story is the story of so many black women who've endured abuse and come out the other side in such a brilliant, beautiful way.
