I've had to work very hard, and I don't really have a category or fit into any niche, so each time I come out with a new record, it's like, I'm a new guy.

More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
I never sit down to write. When I'm moved, I do it. I just wait for it to come. You just hear it. I can't really describe writing. It's in my head.
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
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
I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm half Jewish, I'm half black, I look in-between. I dress funny. I play all these different styles of music on one record. It's like, What is he doing?
Lenny Kravitz
There's certain things in life that I love. One is architecture. And music, culture, food, people. New Orleans has all of that.
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
My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.
Lenny Kravitz
Eventually you're going to have a digital transfer anyway when you make a CD, so it doesn't matter as long as what you're hitting first is what you want it to be.
Lenny Kravitz
Are things getting better with each generation? Yes. It's quite interesting to be living in these times, for me to witness an African-American being elected president. It's quite extraordinary.
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
If I were white, I'd get less criticism.
Lenny Kravitz
I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
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
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
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
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 am still into the people I listened to growing up, so I completely remember what is like to be a fan, I haven't changed.
Lenny Kravitz
At first people thought I was really arrogant and a snob about music because I'm so intense about my production and sound, and because they knew I didn't like new music so much.
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.
