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
It's two people that are in love with one another. What's the issue?
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 think it's great if a guy has a good sized package.
Janet Jackson
My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on TV and I taped it. When no was around I'd kiss the screen.
Janet Jackson
There are two things that really move me: music and acting. And I'm not talking about my music or watching myself as an actor, but listening to other people's music and watching other actors. There are so many different songs that have moved me. It all depends upon the mood that I'm in at that moment.
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 always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.
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
I was out once and had wine and I got sick to my stomach, and I vowed I would never drink again.
Janet Jackson
All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.
Janet Jackson
I just want you inside, baby, we don't need to talk about promises.
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
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
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'm a true believer in prayer, a big believer in prayer.
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 like to read. Autobiographies.
Janet Jackson
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
Janet Jackson
I can feel your body pressed against my body. When you start to poundin', love to feel you throbbin'.
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
