In an interview with BlackBook Magazine, Janet has revealed how she often finds it difficult to sleep at night:
“It’s a big issue [insomnia].
“My doctor is not happy with me. I have to take these [supplements] otherwise my brain won’t stop, and I just lay there all night, thinking about everything.
“Usually I just wind up watching cartoons – The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Johnny Quest, Superfriends, you know, the classics.
“And if I get to catch Family Guy, I’m happy. I’m just a kid at heart. Just a big kid.”
She also spoke of her shyness in front of the camera:
“I just get embarrassed so easily.
“Sometimes I feel like I’m in the wrong profession. You know, a photographer will ask me to do something, and I think, ‘What? With all these people around, staring?’
“I don’t know, I guess it’s my insecurity. Maybe when I’m 90, I won’t care and just stick my ass out. But until I’m comfortable…” And she revealed a talent for impersonation.
“My thing was to do impressions [as a child].
“My friends even to this day say I’m an excellent mimic. It comes from being around so many voices at one time.

I FEEL YOU JANET, I GET THAT TOO. IT’S HARD TO SLEEP WHEN YOU TONS OF THINGS RUNNING THROUGH YOUR MIND. I TAKE SLEEPING PILLS. IT HELPS IN 1HOUR I’M ASLEEP. MAYBE 2HOURS. SOME DRUGS ARE WORTH TAKING,PRESCRIBED. THE LAST SHOW I WATCH IS FAMILY GUY TOO. THAT COMES ON AT 10:00PM AND THAN I FALL ASLEEP. TBS RUNS MARATHON OF FAMILY GUY. I HOPE YOU
GET SOME SLEEP. LAST YEAR WAS BAD FOR ME, I WAS AWAKE MOST OF THE NIGHT FOR 3 OR 4 MONTHS
MAYBE LONGER. THE ONLY TIME I WAS ASLEEP WAS WHEN I WAS SUPPOSE TO GET UP FOR WORK, BY
