It's really about being pleased with yourself.
— Janet Jackson
I can be an emotional eater.
People can have rhinoceros skin, but there's a point when something's going to hurt you.
I kinda see everyone as competition.
I'm just trying to get used to living on a fixed income. Now, it's going to get unfixed.
We all have the need to feel special.
I believe in a higher power. I believe in inspiration.
My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on TV and I taped it. When no one was around I'd kiss the screen.
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.
That's a part of me going back to what I used to do.
I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
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 had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.
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.
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?
My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much.
Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
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.
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.
If I wasn't singing, I'd probably be, probably an accountant.
It is my belief that we all have the need to feel special. It is this need that can bring out the best in us, yet the worst in us.
You don't have to hold onto the pain to hold onto the memory.
You get used to working with one choreographer. You kind of get stuck in that vein and you work your way out of it, picking up someone else's style, their flavor. It takes a bit of time.
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.
People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.
I've never been into what am I going to do next, trying to reinvent myself.
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.
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.
All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.
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.
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.
I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good.
Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job.
In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.
I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual. But I don't believe in things like guilt.
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 think it's great if a guy has a good sized package.
You can't hold the record forever, and I know that. I'm not stupid.
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.
It was the Control album that was really about what I wanted to do.
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.
I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.
Big sisters and brothers... I am telling you, it never changes.
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.
