Janet Jackson Life Quotations

When I was younger, I thought you had to be in control of your own life. That takes a lot of discipline, hard work and focus. You just can't let it all fall by the wayside. Later on, I learned that God is really in control of everything. But you still have to put your best foot forward and be the best you can possibly be.

Too many lives go up in smoke - It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke.

My concepts are never bright ideas; they're never notions I think will sell or be trendy or attract new fans. I don't think that way. All I can do is sing from my life.

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 do think kids should be kids. You have the rest of your life to be an adult.

I always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time.
