In Purple Rain There Is Nothing Complex About The Way That They Dance. Or Sing. It Would Be A Bit Boring For An Adult To Make That Film. It Just Wouldn't Test Their Métier.

It Fit Into My Scheme Of Things For Many Reasons. At The Time It Was True That Male Dancers Were Looked Down Upon, And It Was True That A Lot Of The Male Dancers Were Effeminate. But What I Was Really Trying To Do Was Develop Something That Would Be American.
