The Future Of Dance Will Always Be

In Fact, I Wasn't Going To Dance In Xanadu, But Several Journalists Told Me That Olivia Newton-john Kept Saying How Sad She Was That She Wouldn't Get The Chance To Dance With Me. So I Finally Said, "all Right, Throw In A Number." But I'm Through With Dancing.

I Don't Understand The Whole Concept Of Doubles. They Used To Do That In The Early Sound Films In Hollywood, But I Thought We Had Gotten Rid Of That. Now Not Only Do You Have Doubles, But As In Flashdance, You Have Triples, Quadruples. From My Point Of View It Is Bad For The Art.

For A Ridiculous Analogy, Let's Take Purple Rain. If You Were To Put Purple Rain And The Sound Of Music On The Desk Of A Producer, He Or She Would Know That The Majority Of Moviegoers Would Rather Listen To Prince. Since They Are In The Business Of Making Money, No One Can Blame Them. But If It Ever Came To The Decision Of Making A Film Like That I'd Say, "no." They Are Very Easy Films To Make, Though. In Purple Rain There Is Nothing Complex About The Way That They Dance. Or Sing. It Would Be A Bit Boring For An Adult To Make That Film. It Just Wouldn't Test Their Métier.

I May Be Rancid Butter, But I'm On Your Side Of The Bread.

The Only Thing Is That Ordinarily When I Do Dance With [women] They Think I Am Suddenly Going To Throw Them Over A Table Or Twist Them All Around. All I Want To Do Is One-two, One-two-three - A Simple Fox Trot. But They're Shaking With Anticipation At The Thought That I'm About To Whip Them Around And Then Toss Them On The Roof.
