'When Doves Cry' came out - it sounded like nothing that was on the radio. 'Let's Go Crazy' was number one on R&B stations, and there's nothing that's been like that on radio since.
Music is real. It affects people; it's real.
A strong spirit transcends rules.
Most people don't want to talk about politics and religion. They say, 'Let's talk about something else.'
When I started playing music, people weren't selling 5 million records. That was not the standard; that was not the focus.
Just sharing music with each other - that's cool. It's the selling that becomes the problem.
