"Prince’s ‘1999’ and ‘Little Red Corvette’ videos were just smoke, then Prince’s face, then smoke, then Prince’s butt, and then smoke. Prince was interesting, and I liked the songs, but the videos were profoundly bad. They were, like, porn bad. His videos were so filled with smoke that everyone on the set would get diarrhea, because mineral oil was so thick in the air."

Producer Sharon Oreck, quoted in the oral history I Want My MTV by Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum.
