Janet Jackson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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.”
