First MTV sit-down, 1985: after Purple Rain
Prince’s first televised MTV interview, in 1985, arrives just after Purple Rain, in the deliberate quiet around Around the World in a Day. He is guarded and sharp, oddly intimate at times, and he controls the room without raising his voice. The questions go toward myth, race, and control. He talks about craft, originality, and the right to stay unfinished in public. Nothing is given away for free. What you get is the posture itself: a star who has already decided that he will not explain the work.
