Prince got some Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix and Sly in him, also, even Little Richard. He's a mixture of all those guys and Duke Ellington.
When I'm playing, I'm never through. It's unfinished. I like to find a place to leave for someone else to finish it. That's where the high comes in.
Do not fear mistakes. There are none.
Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.
Prince is from the school of James Brown, and I love James Brown because of all the great rhythms he plays.
Jimi Hendrix came from the blues, like me. We understood each other right away because of that. He was a great blues guitarist.
