More quotes by Janet Jackson
I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.
Janet Jackson
I was two when we left Indiana, and I don't really remember it that well.
Janet Jackson
I was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.
Janet Jackson
People can have rhinoceros skin, but there's a point when something's going to hurt you.
Janet Jackson
By age seven, I used to comb my hair for performances, just pull my hair up into a bun. Granted, it wasn't a very intricate hairstyle. Still, to be that responsible and disciplined at age seven is unusual.
Janet Jackson
As a child, I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning, and be off to work, the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone, my parents never coming in to wake me up.
Janet Jackson
I feel that when two people are married - not that you have to totally give up your career - you have to spend time with one another, get to know each other more, just share things with each other.
Janet Jackson
You can't worry about pleasing other people you have to please yourself.
Janet Jackson
All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.
Janet Jackson
My parents were strict. They weren't as strict on me as they were with the others, but my mother didn't want us to get on anyone's nerves... Go to someone else's house and drive their parents crazy. Another thing was they didn't want us to get into a lot of things that a lot of kids - if they're not careful - can slip into.
Janet Jackson
I wanted to be a jockey. I'm serious. First time I got on a horse, I loved it. That's what I wanted to be, but my dad asked me to start performing with my family.
Janet Jackson
I can't believe people got so upset at the sight of a single breast! America is so parochial, I may just have to move to Europe where people are more mature about things like that!
Janet Jackson
That's what I think I am: a lot of fun - a lot of fun to be with.
Janet Jackson
I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
Janet Jackson
I wanted to be on my own and get out of the house. We were the kind of kids that - we - obeyed our parents. If they said no, you don't ask why.
Janet Jackson
To a world sick with racism, get well soon.
Janet Jackson
You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.
Janet Jackson
People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.
Janet Jackson
My first name ain't baby, it's Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty
Janet Jackson
Marvin Gaye is our John Lennon. The longer he's gone, the more young people appreciate his art. 'What's Going On' was a work of genius far ahead of it's time.
Janet Jackson
