Fear is the one emotion that unleashed can destroy anything and anyone.
Janet Jackson
Image
I wanted to be a jockey. I'm serious. First time I got on a horse, I loved it. That's what I wanted to be, but my dad asked me to start performing with my family.

Image
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.

I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.
Janet Jackson
Image
People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.

To a world sick with racism, get well soon.

I was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.
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
Image
If people want to know the truth, why don't they just come to me and ask?
Janet Jackson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Tie me up, tie me down, make me moan real loud.
Janet Jackson
Image
I'm a true believer in prayer, a big believer in prayer.
Janet Jackson
Image
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
Janet Jackson
Image
I was out once and had wine and I got sick to my stomach, and I vowed I would never drink again.
Janet Jackson
Image
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.
