I think it'd be great if Prince made an album of just romantic, slow ballads.

I've dated attractive people and I don't find a correlation between amorous enthusiasm and beauty and public figure status.

The demise of the monolithic record industry has been, for a lot of people, really liberating and emancipating.

I made a record in 1996 called 'Animal Rights' that was a very difficult, very dark punk-rock record. Of all the records I've made, it's my favorite one. It's also the one that got the worst reviews and sold the worst.

There are a lot of musicians who are still desperately trying to pretend that it's 1998 and by having a huge marketing campaign, they somehow believe that they can sell 10 million records. That's delusional. No one sells 10 million records. The days of musicians getting rich off of selling records are done.

Music is just air moving around.

I'm gonna have to start walking down the street and start hitting people in the head!
