Janet Jackson "doesn't like speaking".
The 58-year-old pop superstar has admitted she would "rather stay quiet" so she can listen to other people and hates giving interviews where she is asked questions about herself because she's not a fan of talking.
During an appearance on radio show 'Heart Evenings with Dev Griffin', Janet was asked what question she finds annoying during interviews and she replied: "I don't mean to be rude, but I have to be honest with you. Please stop asking me questions.
"I've never thought I give a good interview. I really don't like speaking, so I'd rather stay quiet and listen to other people talk, and that's always been me. Don't ask me questions."
She then joked: "Are we finished?"
Janet did continue with the interview and she went on to talk about her musical inspirations, saying: "I have to exclude family because obviously that spoke to me first, seeing my brothers, my sisters, my cousin Stevie [Wonder] - seeing him perform was a huge inspiration ...
"My brothers would often take me with them when they would go to concerts, and I remember seeing Earth, Wind and Fire as a kid - just unforgettable.
"I'll never forget that. Really blew me away, the musicianship, and then the body of work. I absolutely loved it."
She went on to reveal seeing Prince perform also informed her decisions as a pop star, adding: "I remember seeing Prince when I was in my early, early, early, early 20s.
"He did some songs that I wasn't that familiar with and didn't do songs that I was familiar with, and I thought, 'If I ever perform on this level, I don't want to do that. I want to at least do songs that people are familiar with, for sure'."
