Prince interview on VH1 Soul

(Thanks to Madison at NPGMC for the transcript):

VH1 SOUL 10:30 AM PACIFIC

VH1 NEWS:

When Prince decides to make a video he can pretty much pick any highly sought director he wants. So smokin' hot actress Selma Hayek was surprised when he called her to direct the video for his new single "Te Amo Corazon"...translation "I Love You Sweetheart".

SELMA: It's just that it's so strange that I get this job, ya know. I've never really done it before and the first time I do a video...it's for Prince!

PRINCE: We were friends first and ah, when she would describe the music that she liked or movies that she liked. I'd always notice that she'd dance around and do different things like that. So once she heard the song, I thought she'd be perfect.

VH1: Selma chose to shoot in Marakesh, Morooco and she hired her best friend actress Mia Miastro as Prince's love interest.

MIA: We were saying, (with Selma) It was like ok, like this is the coolest moment of our lives. It can't get better than this.

VH1: Selma said Prince gave her complete control but during the video's pool scene he was reluctant to take direction.

SELMA: I had to convince him to get in that water.

PRINCE: (laughing to himself) Well she dived into the pool fully dressed and it was...freezing cold and.. ah, I've been known to make people dive into pools when it has been freezing cold so I thought I might as well go for it.

SELMA: I'm bossy, but I'm very clear on exactly what I want. No one else in the world but Mia probably knew I could do something like this, but she knew it.

PRINCE: and she did a great job.

VH1: Prince's new album "3121" is set to be released in early 2006. For more on Prince go to VH1.com.


I love Prince's comment. Glad to see he can laugh at himself and make himself do things he's done to others in the past. Good times...

Hello 2freakyone! wave

The TAC pool scene is enough drool to make me forgive him the scene that burns in your mind's eye. giggle

Thanx Booyah.

I love Prince's sense of humor. He is more relaxed than in the Press Conference. Sweet.
