So I haven't got to experience many media articles on Prince... But I wanted to ask all of you what are some of your all time favorite (media articles) Prince quotes/ interviews? Do Any of you have any good article posts? Any funny Q&A articles from his Royal badness?

Thanks for sharing ahead of time.. I can only imagine some of his media bloopers/ answers. after hearing about him asking that reporter if her pubic hair grew up to her navel...

"single, celibate and sexy"

Once I heard him say "so many of my fans are Nutrisystem drop outs with spooky looking avatars"

When Prince was asked to comment on his album "For You." Prince said, "It was a perfect record."

And to this day, I believe that is sooooo true.

I think he once said 'there is one fan that i'm really worried about - she scares the shit outta me!'

The Best said thorouhg Steve IIRC:

When they announced he was going to no longer tour (April 85) EDIT *some soruces say it was about why there was no single/video for Around the World in a Day* And some have it being said by Prince. I remember it as being said by Steve and about no retiring for doing live shows.


The media asked why:

Steve: He's going to look for the ladder

Media: what does that mean?

Steve: Sometimes it Snows in April.

that was pretty good!

(holy crap rudedog I remember you *I think* from AMP and the PML.

I love this quote from a 1990 RS interview, "I'm not saying I'm better than anybody else. But you'll be sitting there at the Grammys, and U2 will beat you. And you say to yourself, 'Wait a minute. I can play that kind of music, too. I played La Crosse [Wisconsin] growing up, I know how to do that, you dig? But you will not do 'Housequake.'"

I watched that show when he lost to U2.

When Chris Rock interviewed him and he was asked about collaborating with MJ on the song "Bad"

Prince: The first line of that song is "Your butt is mine", he ain't singing that to me, and I sho ain't singing that to him.

I remember in the 1985 article for Rolling Stone "I'm just a normal human being, I need love and water like everyone else", and on the Oprah interview in 1996, his response to being labelled gay "Whatever floats the boat" he would never be that equimanious now.

wasn't that from the Paris Mtv interview?

He also said "I live in a small town and I always will, because I can walk around and be me"

DieLon said:

I fucking am dieing of laughter right now!!

Well it's not really a quote but No More Candy 4 U.....is funny. I love the message of that song. Doesn't Prince know candy is bad for our teeth that is why I don't eat it.
