Lucy Jones .....on the red carpet of the Mercury Music Award Prize 2011... she watched Prince at Hop Farm 2011...comments on Tinie Tempah entrance to the event..

18:07 Here's Tinie Tempah arriving on the red carpet. He's nominated for Disc-Overy. It's not my favourite but what do I know? I saw him perform at Hop Farm this year, poor thing, before Prince. It was like a carton of Ribena before a Methuselah of Pol Roger.

I remember her saying that, very funny indeed!

Miles Davis made a great statement about Prince didn;t he - what was it, does anyone remember?

If you can't remember it, how do you know it was great?

Former Prince /The Artist Girlfriend Quotes from the very late 90's.......

A former girlfriend of his who wished to remain anonymous said, “When I first met him he was quite miserable. Now he doesn’t have any negativity surrounding him. Now he’s totally happy and totally comfortable in his skin. When you actually look at his face, you can tell that a weight has been lifted off his skin.”

He speaks quickly, often using parables and sentences so cryptic they could work in a David Lynch film. An old girlfriend said, “Sometimes he says things that make you feel like you haven’t gotten an answer. He leaves you to have to think about every word he says, which is kindof irritating.”

Having a part of Prince music in your life for 30 years makes me want to borrow a quote to use.

Like Prince once sang, "Sometimes the words of others work out just fine."

For me, this quote describes Prince and his music.

"It takes a long time to grow an old friend."~John Leonard

"he's always changing, you hear something different each time you listen to him"

I tell my hubby each day to "shake his money maker".

They say that money doesn't buy you happiness. But it'll pay for the search.

Lisa to Prince: My must confess I wanna get undressed and go to bed

"Originality implies being bold enough to go beyond accepted norms."
-Anthony Storr

The Miles Davis quote was from "A Musical Porttrait" for the BBC

It was I think:

"What people don't understand is he don't hear Ravel when he wants to make love to his woman. He hears drums and shit"

and

"He's always changing. He uses space real well"

classic Miles

Whatever U heard about me is true
I change the rules and do what I wanna do
I'm in love with God, he's the only way
'Cuz U and I know we gotta die some day
If U think I'm crazy, you're probably right
But I'm gonna have fun every motherfuckin' night
If U like 2 fight, you're a double-drag fool
I'm goin' 2 another life, how 'bout U'

I always liked the Randy Newman quote about how Rady couldnt understand why Prince comes across really serious and unfriendly because there was a lot of humour in his work.

Im totally paraphrasing and most probably misquoting

Ha! That is too hilarious! I can imagine it - he's looking at his woman w/ his bedroom eyes, and in his mind is: boom boom, ta da boom, *guitars wailing bass thumping*...

My favorite Miles observation was "He's like a pimp and a bitch rolled into one."

Oh, Miles! Another good one! That dinner w/ Miles at Prince's house must've been hell-arious! Quotes from people who aren't reverential of Prince are funny - most people nowadays are younger than him, are intimidated or in awe.

There's a similar quote to this one by Wendy, also funny, the one where she says he's so not gay - he's more like a "fancy lesbian."

Pretty much sums it up

i think that this quote defines him best.
