A lot of times I felt so alone. But I also thought there has to be other people that have experienced either what I have, or close to it.
All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.
Another side to me is this very sexual being. When I look back on my life, it's always been there. It's been there since I was 10 years old, having the imagination that I had.
Big sisters and brothers... I am telling you, it never changes.
Eddie in costume and make-up with that famous laugh, the minute the cameras started rolling, he became each character. It was amazing!
I am the baby in the family, and I always will be. I am actually very happy to have that position. But I still get teased. I don't mind that.
I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.
I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.
I keep hearing about this reunion, and I'm the last Jackson to find out about it!
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.
I love working with organizations. I love giving. I want to do more of that. You got to give back. I love helping people, especially children.
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.
I think it's great if a guy has a good sized package.
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 wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.
I'm not trying to be malicious. The only thing that Rene actually did with Velvet Rope is the production of the opening of the show.
I've never been into what am I going to do next, trying to reinvent myself.
I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.
In the beginning, you're so excited, so gung-ho that you have to pace yourself. You wind up giving so much of yourself.
It is my belief that we all have the need to feel special. It is this need that can bring out the best in us, yet the worst in us.
It was the Control album that was really about what I wanted to do.
My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on TV and I taped it. When no was around I'd kiss the screen.
My mother is very strong. Aside from wanting her beauty and her heart, I really wanted her strength. And I've always thought I don't have it.
People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.
So many women are talking about how they could fall in love with Sherman, and he's someone I could fall in love with because it's about what's inside.
That's a part of me going back to what I used to do.
That's what Damita Jo is really about: sharing those characters with the public.
There is a lot I haven't said that I actually could say. I hope people would find it interesting. I know a lot of people could relate to it.
There's other things I'd like to do. I probably won't tour for a very, very long time. It's something that you feel inside and that's the way I've been looking at everything.
They wanted me to audition twice because they wanted to make sure they could separate the singer from this person onscreen.
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.
You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.
You can't hold the record forever, and I know that. I'm not stupid.
You dont have to hold on to the pain, to hold on to the memory.
You get used to working with one choreographer. You kind of get stuck in that vein and you work your way out of it, picking up someone else's style, their flavor. It takes a bit of time.
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
