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.

I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.

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.

Big sisters and brothers... I am telling you, it never changes.

I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.

I can be an emotional eater.

I would hope my legacy would be bringing smiles to faces. Happiness with my music.

Ever since I was little, I loved to eat. I started eating when I wasn't hungry. My weight has always been up and down.

I'm fine the way I am. There's nothing wrong with me.

I'm just trying to get used to living on a fixed income. Now, it's going to get unfixed.

All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.

I don't like to work out, and I get bored easily.

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.

We all have the need to feel special.

I've never been into what am I going to do next, trying to reinvent myself.

I kinda see everyone as competition.

I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good.

When I was younger, I thought you had to be in control of your own life. That takes a lot of discipline, hard work and focus. You just can't let it all fall by the wayside. Later on, I learned that God is really in control of everything. But you still have to put your best foot forward and be the best you can possibly be.

My concepts are never bright ideas; they're never notions I think will sell or be trendy or attract new fans. I don't think that way. All I can do is sing from my life.

You don't have to hold onto the pain to hold onto the memory.
