"If you don't own your masters, your masters own you".

I always liked that one. Simple but effective. You can take it literally (ie. the 'master tapes' owned by Warner Bros.) or just as a general statement about having control over your own life.

"I'm constantly occupied with music" ( prince, 1995).

"Once the internet is a reality the music business is finished" ( prince, 1995).

"I'm not playing anyone else's game. I'm in control. I don't care if people say I'm mad. It don't matter" ( prince, 1995).

"Everything I'm about is freedom of choice..." ( prince, 1999).

"A strong spirit transcends rules" ( prince, 1999).

"File sharing was inevitable, because ppl r tired of getting pimped at the wrecka stow" (Prince, 1999).

"The internet should b set up where every artist has a site/sight. If u want a particular work from this artist, you go to his/her site/sight and cop" (Prince, 1999).

"Anybody who has followed my career knows how much technology has meant to me. When it was three o'clock in the morning, and I'd try to get Bobby Z to come out to the studio, sometimes he'd come, sometimes he wouldn't. But I've had this Roger Linn drum machine since 1981. It's one of the first drum machines ever created. It takes me five seconds to put together a beat on this thing. So from the very start, technology gave me a direct result for my efforts. I'm a very simple person. If somebody wants my music, I'll give it to them" (Prince, 2001).
