Complaining doesn't make a difference; it's useless and it's wasted energy.

I'm not a snob. Ask anybody-well, anybody who matters.

Music is not supposed to be nationalist. It is supposed to surpass language barriers. It is about generations communicating with each other.

You don't really want to be always thinking about the future, always thinking about where you're heading for. You've got to think about how you're getting there.

Ambition is a funny thing. You can completely screw yourself with it if you're not careful.

These days I think people give up too easily. Everyone says it’s about compromise, which it is. Love, compromise, promises, presents help. But ultimately it’s about not giving up. People are led to believe that if it’s not perfect then just ditch it and change it, these days. That’s a mistake.

Sad news- Prince is gone. Music has lost a great presence. A world less funky. I don't believe in it.
