Prince Quotes


NB: These quotes were taken out of a music magazine in the late 80's and probably do not reflect the way Prince feels or thinks now.



“If it wasn't against the law, I wouldn't wear anything on stage.” (Backstage at the Metro, NYC, 1981)
“I think my problem is that my attitude's so sexual, it overshadows everything else I want to say.”
“People say I wear high heels because I'm short.             I wear heels because women like them.”
“When I was sixteen I was writing songs that made out I was rich, had been everywhere, and been with every woman in the world. But I always liked fantasy and fiction.”



“I don't feel sexy when I play guitar – I feel angry.”
“When I first played the Dirty Mind album for him (my father), he said 'You're swearing on the record. Why do you have to do that?' And I said “Because I swear'. The point for me is that you can do anything you want. My goal is to excite and provoke on every level. I like danger. That's what's missing from pop music today.”
“I didn't have any money, so I'd just stand outside McDonald's and smell stuff. Poverty makes people angry, brings out their worst side. I was very bitter when I was young, I was insecure and I'd attack anybody.”

“I'm just like everybody else, I need love and water”
