I truly felt that was going to be my last tour. So here we are again and I'm saying this will probably be my last tour. That's truly the way I'm looking at it.

I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.

Big sisters and brothers... I am telling you, it never changes.

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.

All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.

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.

You can't hold the record forever, and I know that. I'm not stupid.

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

I'm flattered that other artists consider me a role model.

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.

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.

I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.

You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.

I'm no expert. I have no psychic powers, and I sure don't possess any secret wisdom. I'm just Janet. I have strengths, weaknesses, fears, happiness, sadness. I experience joy and I experience pain. I'm highly emotional. I'm very vulnerable.

I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.

To have someone to relate to and hopefully enjoy the music and get a positive message out of it, to make the best music that we possibly could, those were the goals.

I get so much energy from the fans.

I was a very quiet kid. A really sweet kid, I might add.

I was two when we left Indiana, and I don't really remember it that well.

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.

There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it?

No word is absolutely wrong or dirty or insulting. It all depends upon context and intention.

You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.

My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much.
