More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
Fly Away changed my life. There are certain songs that do. When I won the Grammy, I was in Paris. I sort of forgot about it.
Lenny Kravitz
I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.
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'm more hungry now than I was 11 years ago. Which is great because I see a lot of artists that have been out for a long period of time. They get kind of fat.
Lenny Kravitz
You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.
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
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
Music, for me, is completely self-indulgent. I write it, I play the instruments, I arrange it, I produce it. It's all about me - as it should be.
Lenny Kravitz
One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it's yours.
Lenny Kravitz
I bought [John Lennon's] 'Plastic Ono Band,' and I listened to it over and over for months. It's a monumental work of genius.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm not one of those artists who refuses to play their hits. I find that ridiculous. Hits are a blessing.
Lenny Kravitz
Every night is different, you never know what it's going to be like. I remember every night. I don't like to compare them.
Lenny Kravitz
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.
Lenny Kravitz
I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It's a reality.
Lenny Kravitz
I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.
Lenny Kravitz
I didn't really listen to rock 'n' roll until I moved to LA. We would ditch school, go get high, put on Zeppelin IV and just bug out.
Lenny Kravitz
It doesn't take a lot to get me motivated. I'm a studio rat. When I was in high school and I would walk into a recording studio, it felt like this magical place, this temple, this womb that I could escape into.
Lenny Kravitz
Eleutheria, the fire is burning. Eleutheria, the tables are turning.
Lenny Kravitz
I think kids in Europe have developed a deeper knowledge of music and of black music in particular. You go to Europe, and these kids know about all this obscure funk and soul that kids over here wouldn't know. I think it's getting better in the States, though, with the age of the Internet.
Lenny Kravitz
People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.
