"I've known Prince for many years - I worked on the "Raspberry Beret" video - and Kirstie [Alley] and I used to fight about him.He once sent a card [saying] he had penned a song about me, called "Palomino Pleasure Ride." I remember bringing this card to work one time and showing Kirstie and saying: "See? Now who's the better friend?" It was so ridiculous."

" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.”

“The most successful person is the one who is most inspired. That is true in food and in life.”
“The love of pelf increases with the pelf. [Lat., Crescit amor nummi quantum ipsa pecunia crescit.]”
“I think that gulf is what makes the work interesting, but as a creator it's endlessly frustrating because I'm starting out with this goal, this thing I'm trying to create, and then the thing I actually do create is very, very different. It's always painful, in some ways, especially when it's just finished.”
“It's so important to always be yourself. If you do that, you will be successful as you, instead of worrying about trying to conform.”
