"You can dominate a game if you dominate on the line... We're just going to have to go out there and ..." — Miles Davis

Prince is from the school of James Brown, and I love James Brown because of all the great rhythms he plays.

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.

He comes in on the beat and plays on top of the beat. I think when Prince makes love, he hears drums instead of Ravel.

The music I was really listening to in 1968 was James Brown, the great guitar player Jimi Hendrix, and a new group... Sly and the Family Stone, led by Sly Stewart from San Francisco.
