It's just not really possible.
So I actually, in a way that won't surprise you, but I mean, it's like when you end up with circumstances that are sort of so dramatic and so in sort of an unforeseen way, the basic need for vengeance and the basic desire to channel your anger, I have had those impulses and things, but I'm like, this happened.
It's like if I allow this thing to consume me and eat me up from the inside in a way, then that's kind of on me.
So I've had to figure out a way to get sort of beyond those feelings because I can't win that.
I lose.
So why it happened, I don't know.
And I just feel like I comported myself correctly throughout the entire exercise.
That's the only thing I can control.
Anything for you, Pablo.
Hi, Sasha.
Thanks for having me. I'm, I think, happy to be here.
Again, you know my issues with this. It's like, I don't want to make this shit about me.
You know, from the time I graduated from school where I, you know, wrote for a school paper, I always was interested in media and sports.
I'm self-taught. I just like watch things. And so in some ways I have the brain of someone who's trained on watching narrative films.
I do believe there's a way of informing, really informing, talking about things and having people learn, but do it in a way that also entertains them. And I kind of took that as my mandate.
It's Prince. There was a vault of material. He is a mysterious figure whose story had never been told. And so for me, it really was trying to help fans and non-fans alike understand who this person is. And at the same time, in that understanding, help them understand his art more.
You know, like, look, somebody who was around him for decades and met with us before we started filming basically was like, good luck.
People, you know, people who are around him were not at liberty necessarily to talk freely and publicly, whether they wanted to or not.
Even in death, people were reluctant because I think it's a natural inclination of some people whose names are made, were made because of their connection to him. So do I want to sully that through talking honestly?
And in fact, after many, many years of really persuasion and building trust... At the same time, people had a lot to say once they sat down because they had not really talked openly about him.
