Janet Jackson's quotes

You don't have to hold onto the pain to hold onto the memory.
We all have the need to feel special.
In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.
I set out to please myself, hopefully in the end, the listeners will enjoy what I've created.
If I wasn't singing, I'd probably be, probably an accountant.
Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.
We are a nation with no geographic boundaries, bound together through our beliefs, we are like minded individuals sharing a common vision, pushing toward a world rid of color lines.
To a world sick with racism, get well soon.
We had the kind of night were morning comes to soon... we used the light from a flickering candle across the room to make the kind of shadows that only one thing could make... love.
Pain like water it dry away so love come in without pain how can love think about.
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.
There was also loneliness. I had few friends. Work consumed me. in some ways, it still does.
Being from a famous family is a blessing. I'm challenged to live up to the expectations. I'm happy, grateful for what I've inherited and excited about what I want to contribute.
The pain is necessary. Sometimes pain is the teacher we require, a hidden gift of healing and hope.
All kids rebel. My way was to dye my hair half pink and half blue. It was a mess.
Freedom means choices.
My dad taught us that there's no greater distance than that between first and second place.
Self-expression is my goal, I want to be real with my feelings. Singing and dancing-and all the joy that goes with performing- come from my heart. If I can't feel it, I won't do it.
A lot of times I felt so alone. But I also thought there has to be other people that have experienced either what I have, or close to it.
Another side to me is this very sexual being. When I look back on my life, it's always been there. It's been there since I was 10 years old, having the imagination that I had.
I am the baby in the family, and I always will be. I am actually very happy to have that position. But I still get teased. I don't mind that.
I love working with organizations. I love giving. I want to do more of that. You got to give back. I love helping people, especially children.
People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.
Big sisters and brothers... I am telling you, it never changes.
I've never been into what am I going to do next, trying to reinvent myself.
I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.
I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.
[on her Disney tattoo] I have a tattoo on my most private part of Mickey and Minnie Mouse involved in a sexual act. It's my sense of humor. My boyfriend thinks it's terrible. He loves Disney too much, but I just laugh. It's fun.
[on Aaliyah] I've loved her from the beginning because she always comes out and does something different, musically.
[on dating, 2001] I always have to do the asking. I don't mind, because I've gotten used to it. But I do sometimes wonder why I have to do it.
I have so much more confidence in myself now than I ever did before.
[In her self-help book "True You", 2011] 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.
[In her self-help book "True You", 2011] You can never be happy until you understand why you're doing what you're doing.
[In her self-help book "True You", 2011] 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 would hope my legacy would be bringing smiles to faces. Happiness with my music.
Believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself because no one else is going to.
I'm convinced that we Black women possess a special indestructible strength that allows us to not only get down, but to get up, to get through, and to get over.
I don't believe in luck. ... It's persistence, hard work, and not forgetting your dream.
Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsibility to be equal members of society.
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.
I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.
The greatest achievement to any human being is to love God, yourself, and others.
[on listening to her brother Michael Jackson's advice] Michael told me when you hear bad things about yourself, just put your energies into something else; it's no good crying about it. Just put it into your music-it'll make you stronger.
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.
[on what makes her happy] The beach really calms and relaxes me. That's why I'm always running to an island if I can. I love to travel! Another very important thing is your support team who you surround yourself with, whether it's at work or at home.
When I finally make up my mind that I want to do something, it's never been hard for me to do.
My first name ain't baby, it's Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty.
There's nothing more depressing than having everything and still feeling sad. We must learn to water our spiritual garden.
I'm a true believer in prayer, a big believer in prayer.
[on how she passes time on the treadmill] For a good run, I'll listen to old, funky stuff like Roger Troutman or Sly and the Family Stone, something that makes me want to move. Or I'll watch the History Channel or old, classic films.
Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
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.
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. I'm fine the way I am. There's nothing wrong with me.
Damita 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.
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.
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.
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.
[on gay marriage] It's two people that are in love with one another. What's the issue?
No word is absolutely wrong or dirty or insulting. It all depends upon context and intention.
When I'm feeling down on myself or not feeling good about who I am, or maybe something happened and I'm feeling depressed, I eat to fill that void. Afterwards I'll beat myself up about it. I regret doing it, but I'll turn around and do it again.
[From her book "True You"] Fear is the one emotion that unleashed can destroy anything and anyone.
