I know he [Prince] is up there saying to me, "This is not the way I wanted it to happen, Stevie."

I saw her do 'Different Drum' and thought, that's what I'm gonna do. I don't look that good in cut-offs, but that's what I'm gonna do.

I want to be age appropriate. I don't want to be that girl you see walking away and she looks 25 and then she turns around and she looks 90.

I don't really like to be filmed.

I feel that the world is in a really dangerous place and it scares me.

I remember once Prince dropped by to see me when I was in Minneapolis and I was sick, with a bag of cough drops and a spoon of cough medicine. I said to him, "Hey, can I have another spoon of that? It's just over the counter," and he'd go, "No, I didn't come here to start up new drug addictions for you." And I was like, "C'mon, give me that bottle!" He was very watchful over me.

I would have found something because I love to entertain people. I had the option to take the rest of the year off. But I said the songs on my last solo album, '24 Karat Gold,' mean so much to me. I need to get out there and sing them.
