Peep a radiant Janet Jackson flashing her trademark smile on the cover of Health Magazine’s December issue. On newsstands now, the feature sees the 44 year old address her weight fluctuations, preference for acting (over singing), and more.
Her quotes after the jump…
On having her body criticized as a kid: “When I did Good Times, they used to bind my chest because I was developing breasts at a young age… It immediately makes you think, ‘The way I am isn’t good enough.’ They thought I was too heavy and that I needed to lose weight. When I look back at the show, I was your average-size kid.”
On choosing between acting and singing: “I have more of a passion for acting than I do singing, because singing comes so much easier to me. Acting is more of a challenge. I always say to people, ‘I’m really in the wrong business because I don’t like being in front of huge crowds, and I don’t like it when a lot of people are looking at me.’”
On Hollywood’s obsession with weight: “People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We’re human beings, just like you… whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses.”
On getting colonics at age 11: “Once a month my mother would drive us to downtown L.A [for the procedure]. That played a big part in my life and career, because I learned at a very young age what discipline truly meant, to be able to pass up the French fries and the piece of candy.”
Anyone else itching for Janet to deviate from what seems to be her script as of late? Every interview seems to yield the very same answers.

janet as an actress is what i want to see. i think janet the actress is more glamorous and alluring than the singer. being an actress is more fitting for the queen. this is one black actress that i love.

Janet is not Halle. Quite frankly she looks like a t***** with that chopped off hair.
@KFC4Life
Yes, F****** sure does look like a deformed a**.
@Hush
Janet is prettier than that plain Jane Halle. Deal.
That body…That Smile…That Hair…..The Talent…..That Beauty….what an Iconic/Legendary figure in American Popular Music. Miss Jackson is the epitome of what an actress/singer/dancer ENTERTAINER should be. She’s kept it classy and professional all along. She took us through her innocence as Penny on Good Times, to her many Political and Social views in Rhythm Nation to her transition to a Sexual Diva on the Velvet Rope and her acting in films from Poetic Justice, The Nutty Professors, Why Did I get Married 1 & 2, to her role in the phenomenal “For Colored Girls.” Miss Jackson has endure a life that many of us could only dream of having and is worth more than $300 Million dollars as a solo artist, dancer, singer, writer, performer and still looks Beautiful. Miss Jackson my hat goes off to you for being beautiful inside and out. We can’t wait to see and hear more from you. Let me not forget your style is so awesome and has been for over 30 years. Hopefully you’ll consider design.
BEAUTIFUL…inside and out! Love you Janet!!!
