More quotes by Janet Jackson
I was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.
Janet Jackson
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
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
That's always - that's been another dream of mine, to do a Broadway play. An award winning Broadway play.
Janet Jackson
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.
Janet Jackson
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
Janet Jackson
I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.
Janet Jackson
You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.
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
If people want to know the truth, why don't they just come to me and ask?
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
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 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
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
I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
Janet Jackson
I have so much more confidence in myself now than I ever did before.
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
Tie me up, tie me down, make me moan real loud.
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 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
