Flashforward: Prince's Rolling Stone interview done in 2002 The 2002 Interview
Why have you decided that now is the time to talk? The truth. Do you read most of what's been written about you?  read the bible.
Do you hate rock critics? Do you think they're afraid of you? don't.
What picture were you painting with 'Around the World in a Day'? look inside 4 perfection.
Sounds religious. Ask him. When you talk about God, which God are you talking about? The Christian God? Jewish? Buddhist? Is there any God in particular you have in mind? 
What was the experience that changed you? Life What were you depressed about? look and c
How'd you get over it? don't walk alone
You say you've now found the place where you can go to be alone. Is it your house? Within the family you've built around yourself? With God?
Do you believe in heaven? ... Does it bother you when people say you're going back in time with 'Around the World in a Day'? No. How do you feel about people calling the record "psychedelic"? don't mind
Does you fame affect your work? No What do you think about the comparisons between you and Jimi Hendrix? don't
Are there any current groups you listen to a lot or learn from? only listen 2 him
People seem to think you live in an armed monastery that you've built in honor of yourself. ... Friends? U? Are you afraid to ask your friends to come by? No Does it bother you that strangers make pilgrimages to your house? am not god.
Does it make you angry when people dig into your background, when they want to know about your sexuality and things like that? have a sense of humor
How do feel when you go to New York or L.A. and see the life you could be leading? Nothing You've taken a lot of heat for your bodyguards, especially the incident in Los Angeles in which your bodyguard Chick Huntsberry reportedly beat up a reporter. don't have 2 explain that.
Why isn't Chick working for you anymore? ... Is it true that Chick is still on the payroll?
What about the exposé he wrote about you in the 'National Enquirer'? never believe anything in the Enquirer
You came in for double heat over the L.A. incident because it happened on the night of the "We Are the World" recording. In retrospect, do you wish you would have shown up? No. You've done food-drive concerts for poor people in various cities, given free concerts for handicapped kids and donated lots of money to the Marva Collins inner-city school in Chicago. Didn't you want to stand up after you were attacked for "We Are the World" and say, "Hey, I do my part." No. People think that you're a dictator in the studio, that you want to control everything. In L.A., however, I saw Wendy and Lisa mixing singles while you were in Paris. How do you feel about your reputation? don't
Do you feel others recognize how hard you work? play
What kind of silliness, exactly? do something else.

How so? ... What about the other bands? Apollonia, Vanity, Mazarati, the Family? What are you trying to express through them? 4got
Why? ... People think you control those bands, that it's similar to Rick James, relationship with the Mary Jane Girls. A lot of people think he's turning all the knobs. don't know their situation
After all these years, does the music give you as much of a rush as it used to? wish people would understand that always thought was bad. wouldn't have got in2 the business if didn't think was bad.

Just a note: I did this just to show how different things are, and how nice it was when Prince actually answered a question - NOT meant to be insulting to the man.
