"I don’t have any hits. I just have songs that people like."

"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 like to be called 'The Artist.' I like to be called 'Prince.'"

"I don't see color. I don't see race. I see the soul."

"I don't think I'm a superstar. I'm just a guy who plays music."
