If I Played A Tough Kid On

I Don't Understand The Whole Concept Of Doubles. They Used To Do That In The Early Sound Films In Hollywood, But I Thought We Had Gotten Rid Of That. Now Not Only Do You Have Doubles, But As In Flashdance, You Have Triples, Quadruples. From My Point Of View It Is Bad For The Art.

You Dance Love, And You Dance Joy, And You Dance Dreams.

I'd Studied Dance In Chicago Every Summer And Taught It All Winter, And I Was Well-rounded. I Wasn't Worried About Getting A Job On Broadway. In Fact, I Got One The First Week.

When I Would Create A Dance, I Wouldn't Have The Luxury That Ballet People Do When They Take A Piece Of Music And Impose A Dance Upon It. What We Did In Motion Pictures Was Have A Song And Within That Song Try To Elaborate. My Usual Method Was To Do What A Writer Does: Get A Plot.

There Is A Certain Amount Of Pornography That Exists Throughout Purple Rain, But The Appeal Is Obvious. You Can Really Pick That Picture Apart And See Where "a" Fits Into "b" And So On. It Was Very Wisely Done.
