Janet Jackson, born Janet Damita Jo Jackson on May 16, 1966, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

Here are some of the best quotes from Janet Jackson:

1. “I would hope my legacy would be bringing smiles to faces. Happiness with my music.”
2. “I like to collaborate on my music. The creative process is fun, and you get a lot of ideas from having discussions about it. Ultimately, the final decision is mine.”
3. “We’re all driven to premieres or nightclubs and seen the rope separating those who can enter and those who can’t. Well, there’s also a velvet rope we have inside of us, keeping others from knowing our feelings.”
4. “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.”
5. “I like myself a lot more than I used to. I had a very difficult time in my twenties especially. It was hard for me to look in the mirror and find something that I liked about myself.”
6. “It’s really about being pleased with yourself.”
7. “There are people that regardless of what it is, if it’s something that’s stressful, whatever it may be, they don’t eat, they lose a lot of weight, a divorce, they get real thin. I’m the opposite.”
8. “That’s always — that’s been another dream of mine, to do a Broadway play. An award-winning Broadway play.”
9. “I’ve always been a tomboy. I’ve always liked to wear red, black, and white, and mostly pants.”
10. “I’m flattered that other artists consider me a role model.”
