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.

More quotes by 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
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
I just want you inside, baby, we don't need to talk about promises.
Janet Jackson
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
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've always been a tomboy. I've always liked to wear red, black, and white, and mostly pants.
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
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 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
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 was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.
Janet Jackson
I always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.
Janet Jackson
You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.
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
That's a part of me going back to what I used to do.
Janet Jackson
I have so much more confidence in myself now than I ever did before.
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
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
A lot of my friends they call me 'the therapist'. They come to me looking for advice. I must be doing something right because they keep coming back. But I'm not very good at kind of looking into my own world and trying to pick apart what is really wrong and fix those things. I like to kind of shy away from certain issues and turn away.
Janet Jackson
All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.
Janet Jackson
