Janet Jackson

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

“I want to do things that are meaningful and that will make a difference.”

“Dream about your life and then live your dream.”

“We all have the need to be loved and accepted.”

“It's better to be a good person than a famous person.”

“I'm a very private person. I don't have a lot of friends. I'm not a very social person.”

“Success doesn't mean a thing if you don't have the freedom to enjoy it.”

“I've always been a very shy person. It's something I've had to work on.”

“We're all driven by something. It can be a desire for success, for love, for a family.”

“My music is my way of speaking out and standing up for what I believe in.”

“You can never be too old or too young to be yourself.”

“In complete darkness, we are all the same. It is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us.”

“Don't ever compromise yourself. You are all you've got.”

“I don't see myself as a sex symbol. I see myself as a person who is very proud of my body.”

“I think it's important to have a balance in life. I think it's important to work hard and to play hard.”
