Celibacy is not having sex. And, no - it doesn't get easier as you get older.

But...if what really matters to him is a spiritual and emotional connection, and if he doesn't feel that for anyone currently in his orbit, then it's somewhat less difficult. And if it's something he's committed to, then he isn't putting himself in any compromising situations.

Its all so 80's. This whole designer, billionaire jet setting thing is played out. I wish Prince would just one day get real.

And still doesnt vote? nice. If minnesota goes GOP, we'll know who to blame.

How do you know he'd vote Democrat (if he did vote)?

i say shelve the book ..and concentrate on getting a distribution deal 4 the NEW music. cause by the time a deal can b struck, he'll lose interest in the current project

TV channel? TV channel?
hello Prince...check out SEACHANGE. we got what you need baby!

well, the book's a done deal. the production is done on it, so all he has left to do now is collect the money from sales. i'm sure he'll do a few parties and whatnot, but i don't think he's going to promote this book the way he does his albums. i wouldn't be surprised if he's way into his next album project right now and has figured out his next insane genius distribution plan...

He declines to play The Divine, a song so "mind-blowing" he doubts he'll ever release it. "The minute the harmonies hit, I put it away," he says.

On a love song, his voice takes on yearning as he pines for the feel of a lover's lips and the move of her hips. "That's what happens with years of celibacy," says Prince, survivor of two broken marriages. "It all goes into the music." He pauses. "This time, it has to be the right person."

For now, songs offer sufficient companionship. "Music to me is a life force," he says. "It's not what I do. It's what I am."


WOW!!

Well said Genesia, I think that's a beautiful thing, that he's realised the spiritual and emotional connection is what's really important!

TV CHANNEL THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA

How do Jehovah's Witnesses feel about opulence? Is it A-OK? I mean, you can't vote but you can live like this? I'm not trying to be a smartalec; I'm really curious about how extravagance is viewed...

Btw Prince, You can knock on my door any time to explain this all to me!

The "Squiggle" Network. Coming to a tele near you!

Shit I laughed, yelled and shook my head. P can be such a pretentious little fuck! But I still love him and the games he plays.

ToraToraDreams said:

when he said 'I am music" no truer words have been spoken...and yes he can be celibate really

Nothing more funny than Prince saying he was celebate. Who is he fooling?

Im gonna leave the celibacy thing alone
Anyway,besides that...nice interview and beautiful pics as well.

you know that emoticon was wrong!

Serpan99, thank you for posting this article. @)-}-----

Reminds me of the Guitar World interview when they were talking about a bunch of music that would likely never see the light of day....namely Come, The Gold Experience and Exodus....all great works...all well worth the wait....this could be a REALLY exciting time musically IF it happens....

Exactly

Dez u r so wrong!!!

THAT WAS AN AWESOME ARTICLE



--"I'm single, celibate and sexy," he says with a laugh. "I feel free." This made me giggle. It's funny but true.

--"I did the Dirty Mind tour and pushed that envelope off the table. What I didn't do, Madonna finished. I don't want to go back. You have to get out of your own way." Madonna finished what he started? That sounded a bit...boastful to me.

He's turned down multiple book offers, "but now we have to look at every form of distribution," says Prince, who's exploring a TV channel start-up to unleash his massive video archives.

He'd consider an exclusive pact with a big-box retailer such as Wal-Mart or Target, and he's eyeing another big-city residency. A major label deal? Doubtful. Target/Walmart deals would be awesome. Is that city on the East Coast of the USA? It better be! I'm a poor college freshman and I would like to be able to see him without spending a lot of money and/or traveling overseas/to the opposite coast.

On a love song, his voice takes on yearning as he pines for the feel of a lover's lips and the move of her hips. "That's what happens with years of celibacy," says Prince, survivor of two broken marriages. "It all goes into the music." He pauses. "This time, it has to be the right person." No comment here, I just thought that was something sweet to say.

For now, songs offer sufficient companionship. "Music to me is a life force," he says. "It's not what I do. It's what I am." That's cool.

it's going 2 b interesting 2 c who will distribute it since he's burned the bridges 2 universal and sony

i thought the first prince video that randee st nicholas directed was "kiss" and the 2nd was "gett off".

jseven said:

I agree ... There's a lot of potential with this. I was just speaking with my wife about this and she was doubtin' that it would b somethin' P would do. I on the other hand think it's a gr8 idea. We know how much P loves or loved Ananda from MTV and Donnie Simpson from BET and I could see a channel that has blocks of P's older music with the new music and a sprinkle of the TRUE version of Prince Of Paisley Park and all the TV per4mances and interviews he did over in Europe.

Like Serpan said earlier, this does sound xciting ...
