Jake Brennan: 我认为Prince的性形象更多是为了他的流行明星地位而塑造的，而他本人并非如此。他是一位真正的艺术家，通过一系列的化身来控制和实现他的艺术。我一直努力工作，但最终却讽刺地导致了完全且致命的失控。在1987年，我已经成为世界上最大的艺人之一，我创造了这个场景，现在我想从中得到回报，也就是认可。但后来我意识到我的新专辑《黑专辑》太黑暗和愤世嫉俗了，这让我感到不安。我担心它会毁了我的事业，所以我决定取消发行。尽管我服用了摇头丸，我仍然牢牢掌控着我的音乐、形象，甚至是唱片公司的老板。我一直都对自己的艺术和生活有控制权，直到疼痛变得难以忍受。我意外地服用了含有芬太尼的止痛药，最终导致了我的死亡。我并不知道自己服用了芬太尼，我失去了控制，这真是一场悲剧。 Jake Brennan: 我在1984年发行了《Purple Rain》，展现了我对流行文化的完全掌控。我与华纳兄弟唱片公司就创作控制权展开斗争，我总是能赢得胜利。为了摆脱他们的限制，我将自己的名字改为符号，并不断发行唱片，直到我摆脱了他们的要求。在乔治·哈里森的摇滚名人堂演出中，我抢走了Eric Clapton的吉他独奏，并将其提升到了一个全新的水平。在摇滚名人堂的表演中，我完全掌控了局面，我将吉他扔向空中，然后昂首阔步地走下舞台。

Few pop artists achieved the dizzying creative and career highs that Prince did. An artist who famously stayed away from drugs and most anything that would cause him to lose control, Prince was aided in his legendary musical output by a small army of creative alter egos, who helped him maintain control and helped him reign supreme as one of the greatest pop musicians of all time, until of course, all control was lost.
