I was surprised to find the following quote on my Collins desk calendar for Wednesday 17th of December;

"Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?"

- The Artist Formerly Known As Prince



there's a quote for everyday by a famous person and its good to see Prince quoted amongst the likes of JFK, Da Vinci, Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Socrates and many others.

Does anyone here know where this is from? and what other interesting quotes(not lyrics) have you heard him say or seen in print?

O.N.

Hey I got the same desk calendar except mine was for the 16th December.

17th had "never squat with your spurs on"!!

well the npgmc inst a great representation of "what he can do"



but yes, musically, it would be amazing.

I'm not sure, but this sounds like something said in the thick of his contractual battle with WB.

I always thought he felt constrained by time and mundane things like sleeping or eating (he once said he only eats cuz he has to, not cuz he enjoys it).

I would get this printed on a t-shirt, but I don't think my mother would approve.

My favorite is "They say a man ain't happy truly, Til a man truly dies"- Sign o'the times I love that!

U don't know what song that line's from??

if ya'll are lookin for actual quotations, as opposed to quotations of lyrics, look to some of p's earliest interviews (startin from the dirty mind era).
