Nov. 22, 2010 — -- Imagine Beyonce -- without makeup, without lights, unplugged and a little raw. It's what you'll see in "Beyonce: I Am ... World Tour," a new DVD documenting her one-year, 119-stop world tour.

The superstar singer directed the film herself.

"I feel like the only way I can truly tell the story is if I am a part of it," she said in an interview with "Nightline's" Cynthia McFadden. "There are a lot of things that I reveal about myself that I would have never given to a different director."

Among the more candid moments on the DVD: An exhausted Beyonce talks about having performed nine nights in a row and "nobody cares."

"When you work that hard, you just need someone to say stop. You know? Your voice is a muscle and it needs rest, and imagine nine days," she said. "I was just delirious and feeling sorry and bad and I was like, you know, 'I need rest.' ... And in the end, I cried because clearly I'm a human being and I bleed and I hurt and I cry and I fall just like anybody else."

Beyonce, who is married to rap mogul Jay Z, also addressed the persistent rumors of a pregnancy: There isn't one -- at least, not yet, she said.

Due to an editing error, the Nov. 22, 2010 "Nightline" broadcast incorrectly stated that Beyonce has sold 11 million albums. She has sold more than 100 million albums. We regret the error.
