Any interviews by Prince's on his production?

The title says it all really, has anyone got any?

I know most interviews with Prince are fixated on his public persona, and are rarely skin deep, but I'd be interested to hear/read what he has to say about his studio production techniques etc....

I know only about these excerpts from New York 2004ever bootleg booklet:

MD: How about as a producer?
Prince: As a producer, song arrangement is very important. Some drummers can play anything, some can't.

Prince:.....I always record the drums first - that's realy important. I like to record fast. Sometimes the mic's aren't perfectly placed or the tuning isn't right. It's just a feel thing. One of my strenghts is, when I'm playing it all myself, I can make it sound like a total band when I'm done.
