More quotes by Janet Jackson
Self-expression is my goal, I want to be real with my feelings. Singing and dancing and all the joy that goes with performing come from my heart. If I can't feel it, I won't do it.
Janet Jackson
I need you like the blues needs the pain.
Janet Jackson
I was raised with a ton of brothers and sisters where, obviously, the music running in and out of the house was very eclectic. So, I had a lot under my belt by the time I grew up. It all depends upon the mood that I'm in, the space that I'm in and what I'm feeling at that moment. But definitely!
Janet Jackson
To have someone to relate to and hopefully enjoy the music and get a positive message out of it, to make the best music that we possibly could, those were the goals.
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
Damita Jo. Jo. That's my middle name. It's let in about the different characters that live within me. They say we have 200 characters that we portray with different people.
Janet Jackson
What I love about Gaga is her story, where she came from. Before she made it, before anyone knew who she was, I knew who she was and, to see her finally make it, I was so happy. If we were to work together that would be cool.
Janet Jackson
My first name ain't baby, it's Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty
Janet Jackson
It has taken me most of my adult life to come to terms with who I am. To do that, I had to break free of attitudes that brought me down.
Janet Jackson
I lose things all the time. I used to lose my license all the time before I put a place in my car for it.
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
I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
Janet Jackson
To be given permission to be confused -- and remain confused -- for as long as it takes would have been a huge gift.
Janet Jackson
Recording is more autobiographical than acting. It's me - either how I'm feeling then or once felt at some point in my life. It's all me.
Janet Jackson
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
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
I'm no expert. I have no psychic powers, and I sure don't possess any secret wisdom. I'm just Janet. I have strengths, weaknesses, fears, happiness, sadness. I experience joy and I experience pain. I'm highly emotional. I'm very vulnerable.
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
I think it's great if a guy has a good sized package.
Janet Jackson
The pain is necessary. Sometimes pain is the teacher we require, a hidden gift of healing and hope.
Janet Jackson
