This kind of goes with the political/social songs thread i made.

But what do you think is the best statement Prince made?, whether it was political, social, sexual, personal or otherwise?

"I'm not gay."

Prince has said so much shit in the last thirty years who knows?

In a song or an interview?

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

Neon agrees.

From the UTCM premier party:

Question: "How do you feel?"

Prince: "Well, I do it with my hands."

I hope I remember it correctly.

So my quote wasn't 100% correct. Sorry, I should've ckecked it first.

I think prince was a little annoyed by that stupid question.

it was only disrespectful cos MJ was the least macho guy on the plannet .. so it was implying that prince was similar or less tough by asking the question ... but doubt anyone is btoehred too much .. just male ego stuff ..

i didnt get that vibe at all, seemed pretty light hearted, and prince even laughed

It was a howard stern employee who asked the question. Prince's response was Michael's a lover not a fighter. But the press pressed him on the question and after laughter and calling the guy a plant and Prince jokingly claiming he planted him. Prince then said that he'd clock Michael in a fight. (Jokingly)

Real music by real musicians

Q: The word "visionary" - does it apply to you?

Prince: Ultimately I think it applies to all of us. If you ask anybody, anybody in this room, if they had their way, how would they reshape their life and their world, they could give you a wonderful scenario. The idea is to try to live that, and that's what I try to do.

(year 2004)

I'm probably going to out myself as a real nerd... eh... what else is new? Anyway, awhile back I was watching some Prince interviews online and I literally could not stop laughing at this one statement. Maybe it was the delivery more than anything else, but I put it on a sticky. Here it goes!

"The artists are regaining control of their art. They are the creators. They should dictate who stewards that legacy throughout the universe. It's very interesting the language they have in contracts. It says, 'In perpetuity in all of the universe.' Whatcha y'all know that we don't? Where y'all taking this music?... Jupiter?... Whaz up? (laughs) So if they're gonna plan for the long haul, I think we should too!"

Easy: Let's Pretend We're Married.

"I'm gonna fuck the taste out of your mouth!"

His best statement? It would have to be something profound that he almost NEVER repeats:

I've got too many hits

You don't know my music

Real Music by Real Musicians(and backing tapes)

Shelby is no longer allowed to say "Put Your Hands Up," more than 50 times a night....oh damn, he hasn't said that yet.

I'm thinking of changing my signature to:

"One of the few fans who thinks Prince's studio recordings after 1990 take too much heat and criticism....but his live shows(except 2002 and 2004) have become Self-Parody with background singers and cover songs, and no longer live up to the overblown reputation, and the SOTT Tour remains the gold standard he will never live up to."

Actually, my signature making fun of Bart's signature is the one I wanna keep, but the above one is too long, but more fun.

One of the soundbites about letting the music speak for itself.

The more he flaps his gums, the more we can poke holes in his wafer-thin philosophy. (Obv. this could be said for any of us, so.....)

cows are for calves

microchip in yo neck

i believe in angels, the statement he made when he said an angel told him he would not get epiletic fits again. i believe in angels.

The least funny had to be "Yount" which he forced The Time to use in Graffiti Bridge. Not sure why Prince was fascinated with former Brewers shortstop Robin Yount, but when something is supposed to be funny, and it isn't....the results can be cringe-worthy.

Another classic from the movie: "Are There Really Angels, or are they Just in Our Mind? It All Comes Out in The Wash.....in time." (To which my friend watching the movie with me said....."If You Build It, People Will Come.")
