“I've been to the mountaintop. There's nothing there.”
To Jim Walsh, in context of writing new material.
Quelle: Walsh: I said to him, "Come on, man—don't you want to make another Sign o' the Times, another Purple Rain?" I don't know if I framed it exactly like that, but he said, "No, no—Jim, I've been to the mountaintop. There's nothing there." https://www.gq.com/story/prince-stories
