Prince.. a true artist in every sense of the world.Gone way too soon.

My brother died of cancer two years ago (1998), renal cell carcinoma. He was my only real brother and I didn't know what to do. I'd never been so desperate in my life.

Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance, tension and release.

The only music I don't like is bad music.

I'm never in my life going to do a record that's a tribute to myself. I don't need it.

It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.

When you're over the hill, that's when you pick up speed.
