More quotes by Janet Jackson
You can't worry about pleasing other people you have to please yourself.
Janet Jackson
I need you like the blues needs the pain.
Janet Jackson
I'll meet a guy now, and the next thing I know they'll be sweating and their hands will be shaking. And I feel so bad - I don't even know what to say to them. Then there are other guys who come on too strong, and they're just all over you. The nice ones are the ones who are in-between - the ones who aren't scared and who aren't all over you.
Janet Jackson
I have so much more confidence in myself now than I ever did before.
Janet Jackson
You can't hold the record forever, and I know that. I'm not stupid.
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 like myself a lot more than I used to. I had a very difficult time in my twenties especially. It was hard for me to look in the mirror and find something that I liked about myself.
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
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
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
I like to have a lot of fun. I just don't see myself as being sexy. It's more sass - more attitude - than sex.
Janet Jackson
I was sheltered, and there's good and bad to that. The good was not getting into the drugs and the alcohol and the really sorry stuff, and the bad was finally coming out into the real world and trying to deal with it, which was hard for me.
Janet Jackson
I think it's great if a guy has a good sized package.
Janet Jackson
I enjoy them both [singing and acting] a great deal. I have a passion for both. Maybe acting just a little bit more because it's more of a challenge for me, while music comes so easily.
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
I was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.
Janet Jackson
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
Janet Jackson
I'm a true believer in prayer, a big believer in prayer.
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
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
