"I just want to make music that touches the soul."

"When I was coming up, I didn't want to be known as a sex symbol. I wanted to be known as a musician. But I can't really control what people think."

"I don't have a plan. I just do what I feel."

"I don't believe in the word 'death.' I believe in the word 'transformation.'"

"I don't like to be labeled. I'm not a pop artist, I'm not an R&B artist. I'm just Prince."
