More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
I'm really happy about American Woman, it brought the Guess Who back. They started gigging again and got their song out on commercials.
Lenny Kravitz
It's a good time for me to pursue acting, I suppose since I'm enjoying having another medium in which to express myself. I've been getting a great response to my work.
Lenny Kravitz
People feel they have to live that stereotypical lifestyle in order to be a rock star. You don't have to shoot heroin and act a certain way to be a rock and roll musician.
Lenny Kravitz
After listening to Machine Gun I have to take a nap.
Lenny Kravitz
Personal relationship with God is not all just the ceremony and not the religion of doing something because you were told that's what you have to do it's relationships, it's like we have relationships with our families, with our friends, with our loved ones.
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 knew what I wanted to do from the time I was 5.
Lenny Kravitz
I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.
Lenny Kravitz
I found it a really refreshing change of pace to suddenly be completely directed. It was a type of collaboration that I don't normally have.
Lenny Kravitz
I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.
Lenny Kravitz
I get a lot of joy from playing instruments, and I have a different personality on each instrument. I like to let that come out. I get kind of selfish.
Lenny Kravitz
It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.
Lenny Kravitz
If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.
Lenny Kravitz
I honestly don't remember how I wrote or did the songs. Or the sessions. They all become very much a blur. And each album is like that. It may be that there are different locations, it may take longer, shorter, or whatever, but it's always something that just happened.
Lenny Kravitz
You need to open up so that more comes through. And you can just feel that when your ego is not in the way and when you're letting it be what it wants to be. You have to let it be what it wants to be as opposed to what you think it should be.
Lenny Kravitz
There's nothing more that we love than having a close, personal, open relationship, and I believe that's what God wants.
Lenny Kravitz
Tape machines are effects boxes as well because each tape machine has its own sound. You can over-load a tape machine or you can bump it a certain way so it compresses or makes a sound, tape saturation.
Lenny Kravitz
I fell in love with Paris the first time I went.
Lenny Kravitz
We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.
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.
