Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
Janet Jackson

Believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself because no one else is going to.

I always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.

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 can express gratitude for the simple act of being able to breathe in and breathe out. I can move away from darkness and depression to light and hope. I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be. I am me, the true me; you are you, the true you - and that's good. That's beautiful. That's enough.

I can't believe people got so upset at the sight of a single breast! America is so parochial, I may just have to move to Europe where people are more mature about things like that!

MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did. I apologize to anyone offended - including the audience, MTV, CBS and the NFL.

I was out once and had wine and I got sick to my stomach, and I vowed I would never drink again.
Janet Jackson
-
I'm happy with the people that I have around me. And they've been friends of mine since I was young, for a very long time.
Janet Jackson
-
There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
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
-
It's two people that are in love with one another. What's the issue?
Janet Jackson
-
No word is absolutely wrong or dirty or insulting. It all depends upon context and intention.
Janet Jackson

I would love to. A dream of mine is to produce films, as well as to produce content for television.
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
-
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 just want you inside, baby, we don't need to talk about promises.
Janet Jackson
-
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
-
That's what I think I am: a lot of fun - a lot of fun to be with.
Janet Jackson
-
I study once in a while. But my parents never pushed us into anything. Until we were 18, my mother would make us go with her to Kingdom Hall, and when we turned of age, she let us choose what we wanted to.
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
-
I was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.
Janet Jackson
-
Add to the world's confusion, we teach our kids rules that we don't adhere to ourselves.
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.
