He was the most humble of men. On stage, he is a ball of energy. In interviews, he is quiet- you can almost feel his pain at having to answer questions. There was no cockiness in the man. He cam alive with music, because it was what he loved. The fame was just something he had to accept along with it. I don't know if he ever made the connection between the fame and the true love of fans. He once said he didn't have fans- fan was short for fanatics. He had friends. I don't know if he ever truly realized how many true friends he reached just through his music alone. That people loved him because they knew him through his lyrics. I think he was almost too humble to make that connection causing him to look at things like YouTube with skepticism. And I don't think he cared about sales at all. He just liked to create music and perform it. On the Larry King show, Larry asked him why he didn't make better business decisions and Prince said he had to consider- what was more important, his sales and his career or his spiritual well-being? He said he always had to choose the spirit and did nothing that he didn't feel moved by God to do. <br />There was also the death of his child in the 90's. If my memory serves me correctly, a lot of his reclusive behavior began with that loss.
