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.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
Control meant not only taking care of myself but living in a much less protected world. And doing that meant growing a tough skin.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
Being on 'Good Times' was the first time I was around a group of people that wasn't my family.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried. I was close to having diabetes.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I do think kids should be kids. You have the rest of your life to be an adult.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I was never pushed into the religion by my mother or anyone else. I made up my own mind when I was old enough. I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
We're all driven to premieres or nightclubs and seen the rope separating those who can enter and those who can't. Well, there's also a velvet rope we have inside of us, keeping others from knowing our feelings.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
That's always - that's been another dream of mine, to do a Broadway play. An award winning Broadway play.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I wanted to be on my own and get out of the house. We were the kind of kids that - we - obeyed our parents. If they said no, you don't ask why.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I really don't know anything else because my brothers were famous when I was two years old. So I know nothing else, no other life.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I have no clue why, but maybe sometimes when there's someone you don't hear from, it's the person you want to hear from the most.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I'm just trying to get used to living on a fixed income. Now, it's going to get unfixed.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
There's other things I'd like to do. I probably won't tour for a very, very long time. It's something that you feel inside and that's the way I've been looking at everything.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
As a child, I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning, and be off to work, the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone, my parents never coming in to wake me up.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
There are people that regardless of what it is, if it's something that's stressful, whatever it may be, they don't eat, they lose a lot of weight, a divorce, they get real thin. I'm the opposite.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I'm no expert. I have no psychic powers, and I sure don't possess any secret wisdom. I'm just Janet. I have strengths, weaknesses, fears, happiness, sadness. I experience joy and I experience pain. I'm highly emotional. I'm very vulnerable.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Janet Jackson
I like to collaborate on my music. The creative process is fun, and you get a lot of ideas from having discussions about it. Ultimately, the final decision is mine.
