"...With all the young R&B females in the game right now, do you see yourself or your influence in any of them?
Janet: You want me to answer that, honestly? Let's say there are a few artists that I see myself in. It's nothing bad to me at all. They all mention how I've inspired them in one way or another. Imitation is the best form of flattery, as the phrase goes. Everyone gets inspired. So it makes me smile and it's okay, it really makes me smile.
Does it bother you that the media will sometimes pin other artists against you?
Janet: Yeah, it really does bother me. I don’t understand why it has to be one or the other. I don't understand why they both can't have their shine, their moments. But I feel like they tend to do that with us and not us in "she" and "I", but us as a people. Why can't we both have success and enjoy what it is that we do?

What's the one thing in your life you haven't done that you would like to do?
Janet: I'd like to have a family, God willing. I got a lot of work to do first, but I'd like to have a family.
How many kids?
Janet: As many as he wants. So just please don't say ten, knowing Jermaine he will say ten or nine like my family, but yeah it's up to him."
