Is that one of the reasons he wears his heels

Hell Yeah! He has to be conscience of his height,but I hope that by now, he has learned that people still love and respect him no matter how tall he is. .

Yes of course...There's been mention of it through different songs over the years...I do have a little story concerning Prince and his size...I was at an afterparty last year in NYC and Prince was there with Mani surrounded by a bunch of other people in his section. Well they noticed someone on the dance floor and I was just watching them both on thier tippy toes looking out over people...It's hard to explain but 4 a moment they looked just like two avg. people straining their necks like the rest of us "not quite so tall folks." It was a very "human" moment...Maybe U had to be there...But it left an impression with me.

Burdens of a short man, at least prince has big body guards to get things off the top shelf for him.

this question has been done so many times

DUH

I don't think he'd be able to get away with a lot of stuff he's done in the past if he were taller. (i.e the booty out pants)

well of course he's conscious of his height, but in the end I think it worked for his benefit...im only 5'2" so his height is perfect for me!!

He knows he's short. Said he had issues about it as a kid. Doesn't seem to bother him much anymore.

"People say I'm wearing heels because I'm short," he says, laughing. "I wear heels because the women like 'em."

OPRAH: Being sm -- being of smaller stature, did it ever make you question yourself, question your -- I don't know -- ability to -- to get dates, get women in the beginning?


0{+> : No. N -- No. It questioned my ability to play basketball, because I like to hoop, but...


OPRAH: Did you ever feel ridiculed as a child because of your size?


0{+> : Mm-hmm.


OPRAH: You did?


0{+> : Oh, yeah. All the time.


OPRAH: And how did you handle that?


0{+> : That's probably when that person got created...


OPRAH: Yeah.


0{+> : ...you know, somebody to care about you and love you and be your friend and not ridicule you.


OPRAH: Uh-huh. OK, what would they call you?


0{+> : Just everything they could think of -- anything small.
