“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.”
Janet Jackson“I remember, in school, writing Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson and asking them to come get me out of class. I would imagine them running down the hall and asking my teacher, 'Ms. Daniels, can we get Missy out of class? We're here to see Missy.'”
Missy Elliott“You can never be happy until you understand why you're doing what you're doing.”
Janet Jackson, True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself“There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it?”
Janet Jackson“In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.”
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“My parents are very competitive, so we are very competitive as kids. But it's a good kind of competition; it's not a jealousy. You always want to do your best, and if it can't be you, you want it to be your brother or your sister, you know what I mean?”
Janet Jackson“Food has always brought me comfort and the bingeing is triggered when I'm in a space that is not positive.”
Janet Jackson“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.”
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.”
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.”
