Janet Jackson Quotes:
"My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on television and I remember taping it. When no one was around, I used to kiss the screen."

"Endurance is my heritage, especially as a black woman... it's that strength that allows us to get down, get through and get over."

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

"We all have the need to feel special"

"In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us"

"There's nothing more depressing than having everything and still feeling sad."

"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."
