I've always been into films. I've been offered lots of films but they've always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict.

More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
I feel like I'm only in the beginning of my career. I've only made five albums. It's not a lot.
Lenny Kravitz
I've been compared to hundreds of artists, which just goes to show you that I'm not any one thing at all.
Lenny Kravitz
I just feel so good it feels like a very creative time for me. As far as my mind, spirit, and body, I've never felt better.
Lenny Kravitz
I want to do interiors, furniture. I want to do architecture, although I'm not an architect. Nor am I a trained interior designer.
Lenny Kravitz
I knew what I wanted to do from the time I was 5.
Lenny Kravitz
The story that I wanna tell is pretty much about the way I grew up. Being bi-racial, growing up in a big city and being an artist.
Lenny Kravitz
People don't realize it, but no one lives that rock and roll life 24-7. They think it's hundreds of bottles of champagne flowing and private jets and money. But there's a lot of time when you're traveling - time to think, time to be lonely. Sometimes it gets to you.
Lenny Kravitz
The loyalty rate isn't that high. I could have a big hit, then put out the next single, and they say, Oh yeah, who are you? Prove it again.
Lenny Kravitz
I used to do plays and some television commercials when I was younger. I guess my mom's being an actress got me interested in that, but music definitely took its place.
Lenny Kravitz
You can't even sing or play an instrument, so you just scream instead. You're living for an image, so you got five hundred women in your bed.
Lenny Kravitz
There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith.
Lenny Kravitz
The thing I love about acting is that it's got nothing to do with me it's about bringing forth a director's vision. It's like a release. I'm glad it's come back into my life.
Lenny Kravitz
Confusion makes people uncomfortable. They can't put their finger on me.
Lenny Kravitz
At 10 o'clock in the morning I'd go right in the studio. It feels good to be there in the morning before the day starts to mess with you - I don't mean in a negative way, but before I'd speak to a lot of people or get into anything, I'd go in there and just see what I felt. A lot happens in the morning for me in the studio.
Lenny Kravitz
Jimi Hendrix was just so fluid. His hands were connected to his soul, you know? His playing was just so emotional. You could feel the fire, you could feel the blues. You could feel the sadness. It's unbelievable.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm definitely happy with everything I've done. I stand behind it. You'll always be saying, Well, I could change that, or I would do that differently. But you have to let it be what it is.
Lenny Kravitz
I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.
Lenny Kravitz
When I'm making my music, I'm writing it, I'm producing it, I'm playing all the instruments, I'm performing. It's my own world where I do what I feel, and nobody tells me anything.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm very much about the environment, I'm very much about health, about being able to, at the very least, eat organic, whole foods that are healthy for us. And then, of course, everyone being able to eat and at least have a humane way to live. There's enough for everybody, but unfortunately, there's a lot of greed and a lot of ego.
Lenny Kravitz
I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.
Lenny Kravitz
