On her new album...
OK: What does this new album mean to you?
Janet: It's history for me--20 years since the release of Control.
It was a point in my life where I came to a crossroads. The biggest issue for me was making the decision to fire my father [Joe Jackson] as my manager, asking to be let out of my contract and wanting to do it on my own.On her relationship with Jermaine...
OK: What is special about Jermaine to you?
Janet: Everything. Honestly, this is a really different relationship.
OK: Why is it so different from the past?
Janet: I never had someone who stands on their own feet--they always leaned on me. They pushed into my life. When someone was causing me drama, I used to let it go. It was also very ugly. But with Jermaine it's different.On falling in love...
OK: How did you and Jermaine meet?
Janet: On the Rhythm Nation tour. But he didn't woo me then. I was married. We became friends. He did the remix to "Someone to Call My Lover" which was ironic. He says to this day that he wsn't making a pass at me. We never went out on a date. It just happened.
