[@atsylor5549]

@@JohnSmith-ez8dn what are you talking about. Most actors have absolutely nothing to do with the creation of a project. But if you have a larger role or an extremely popular part, it’s not unheard of to get a bonus if the movie was successful. That’s what he’s talking about. He’s not claiming to have written or produced it. You might not understand this. But it doesn’t matter how great a script is, or a director, or photography or anything else. The main thing that makes a movie are the people acting in it. Every part is important but the people acting in it will make or break any project.

[@krillinroshi9312]

A Tsylor And thats why the contract is signed before shooting begins; had he known the character portrayal he played would be a hit he would’ve asked for said stipulations but since it was his first movie and no idea he signed and got paid what he was supposed to get! Hindsight makes geniuses of the dummy in all of us! The genius and most part wealthy in us is the visionary and those with foresight which obviously wasn’t him but the man behind the mask!

(He wasn't super famous yet) I would have thought him gay but that little dude had like 3 super hot chicks with him. He's like 5'3" and had girls treating him like he was an alpha.

He struggled to find other ways to put out his music but ended up signing with Arista in a big money deal for one album.

He ask me one time, why do I liked his music so much... but one thing he said to me about Prince back then, that I wasn’t aware of, because I was a kid then. He said, “he would hate to work for Prince because he looked mean & very controlling.” I never understood how he knew this about him when he never listened to his music at all. The only reason he was aware of Prince was because of me listening to his music and having his poster on my wall in my room.

Some viewers complains about Vlad asking Morris about Prince. They seem not to realize there would be no Morris without Prince. He only has 2 solo albums which only one went platinum and other gold. He already mention about a drug addition he had once and a divorce marriage. So what else could he talk about. Everybody else that was in Prince inner circles cashing in with books and interviews. Morris said why not me

[@briannaburch6737]

Exactly and he knows that Prince made him Truth be told yes this was just an interview about Morris they wouldn’t have gotten views

[@shredguitar7680]

Prince seemed very moody. Asks band to play, gets them there...and then for no apparent reason because the zen of the afternoon was off, “nah, I don’t want you guys opening”....prince struck me as a very complicated person that was hard to deal with....genius no doubt but hard to deal with

So there you go, people are always raving about how nice and generous he was, and at the same time he's treating his closest friends like shit. Surprise Surprise!! And this isn't the first time or the first person I've heard say this about him. He was an emotional Jekyll and Hyde character in real life. And if it wasn't for his musical talent, he probably wouldn't be very likeable.

[@rockssolid7471]

Morris left out the part about Prince having to get Alan Leeds and Craig Rice bring him to the set of Purple Rain - he wouldn't show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKbbdoywfdBpaMU Any other set would have fired him. Prince put everything he had into the film, his own money, he gave Albert Magnoli 100 songs, hired acting / dance coaches because nobody had training, even wrote script (see some of his notes in his bio).
