In 1977, at age ten, I was cast on the TV sitcom 'Good Times.' My character was Penny, an abused child in desperate need of love. I really didn't want to do the show. I didn't want to be away from my family.

More quotes by Janet Jackson
If people want to know the truth, why don't they just come to me and ask?
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
Another side to me is this very sexual being. When I look back on my life, it's always been there. It's been there since I was 10 years old, having the imagination that I had.
Janet Jackson
I kinda see everyone as competition. I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good. Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
Janet Jackson
Fear is the one emotion that unleashed can destroy anything and anyone.
Janet Jackson
The pain is necessary. Sometimes pain is the teacher we require, a hidden gift of healing and hope.
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
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
Bound together by our beliefs, we are like minded individuals, sharing a common vision, pushing toward a world rid of color lines.
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 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
I truly felt that was going to be my last tour. So here we are again and I'm saying this will probably be my last tour. That's truly the way I'm looking at it.
Janet Jackson
I was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.
Janet Jackson
I'm a true believer in prayer, a big believer in prayer.
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
It's two people that are in love with one another. What's the issue?
Janet Jackson
I would love to. A dream of mine is to produce films, as well as to produce content for television.
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 still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day.
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
