Let me tell you a story about Wendy. We had to fly somewhere at the beginning of the tour & Wendy is deathly afraid of flying. She got on the plane & really freaked, I was scared for her. I tried to calm her down with jokes, but it didn’t work. I thought about it & said “Do you believe in God?” She said yes. I said “Do you trust him?” & she said she did. Then I asked “So why are you afraid to fly?” She started laughing & said “Okay, okay, okay.” Flying still bothers her a bit, but she knows where it is & she doesn’t get freaked.

Perfection is in everyone. Nobody’s perfect, but they can be. We may never reach that, but it’s better to strive than not.

I saw critics be so critical of Stevie Wonder when he made ‘Journey Through The Secret World Of Plants.’ Stevie has done so many great songs & for people to say “You missed, don’t do that, go back” — well, I would never say “Stevie Wonder, you missed.” *Prince puts the Wonder album on the turntable, plays a cut, then puts on Miles Davis’ new album* Or Miles. Critics are going to say “Ah, Miles done went off.” Why say that? Why even tell Miles he went off? You know, if you don’t like it, don’t talk about it. Go buy another record!
