ADD QUOTES
- Prince: ( when asked if he would have become a vegetarian if it wasn't for Mayte) Mayte showed me how many different vegetarian dishes one could have and never miss the things you would imagine. I never was a big milk drinker anyway, but I really like vanilla soymilk. Being without my wife's influence is not a reality to me, so I don't speculate on life without her.
  Edit Share Hide
- Prince: (on how far as he taken his vegetarianism) We don't eat anything with parents. Complete vegans, both of us! The opening lyrics to Animal Kingdom [on the forthcoming Truth album] refer to a conversation between Spike and me about the benefits of cow's milk over human. I believe they are few.
  Edit Share Hide
- Prince: (on teens needing more God in their lives) When I look at the violence, I wonder where the parents are, but also where is God in their lives? A kid is an open computer ready for programming. Some weird relationships happen, smoking too early and sex.
