Sayings by Prince
I'm not a fan of the photograph. I'm a fan of music.
I once was going to write a book called 'The History of the World According to Prince'.
I don’t really care so much what people say about me. It’s what I know about myself that matters.
I’m not a woman. I’m not a man. I am something that you’ll never understand.
I don’t have any hits. I just have songs that people like.
I’m not a human. I’m a lion.
The only thing I’m scared of is God.
The only thing that ever separated us was our minds. Those are gone now.
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 think I'm a human being. I think I'm a spirit. I'm a spirit that's been put on this earth to do certain things.
The internet's completely over. I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get paid by advertising.
I believe in God. That's the only thing I believe in. All these other things are just distractions.
I don't really care what people think about me. I'm just here to do what I do.
The music business is a cruel, shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
I'm not into organized religion. I'm into spirituality. I'm into the Bible. I'm into God.
I don't write songs. God writes songs. I just transcribe them.
I don't think in terms of gender. I just think in terms of music.
The most important thing is to be true to yourself, but I think the second most important thing is to be true to your art.
I've always been a rebel. I've always been a person who's gone against the grain.
I don't believe in the word 'celebrity.' I believe in the word 'artist.'
