Janet Jackson has revealed that she is driven by a fear of failure, and views everyone in the music industry as a possible threat to her success.

"Everyone is my competition," the 41-year-old told Essence.com. "I grew up competitive. We even grew up like that as brothers and sisters, but it's a healthy competition. It keeps me going. It keeps me moving the way music and other things do."

She revealed, also, that she titled her new album Discipline because of her need to stay in control of her life, as she was when she was still a child.

'When I started to perform onstage with my brothers and sisters I would do my own hair," she said. And not just in a messy way that a little kid would do – it had to be very neat. That's a lot of discipline for a kid and I've always had that."
