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.

Image
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
Image
I couldn't tell you what I am going to do next 'cause I have no idea, but I am open to anything.

I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough . . . I've always had to deal with this black-white thing.

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.

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'm looking forward to going out at the concert with a clear head, with a clear mind, with a clear spirit and experiencing whatever it is. It's great.

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
Image
I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.
Lenny Kravitz
Image
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
Image
I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.
Lenny Kravitz
Image
I don't like to approach people that much. There's been times when I wanted to say something to somebody, in a quick moment, but didn't. Then you think, man, who knows?
Lenny Kravitz
Image
We've always just gotten up there and played. We don't have any dancers, we don't have all that stuff going on, we just get up there and play.
Lenny Kravitz
Image
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
Image
I'm not one of those artists who refuses to play their hits. I find that ridiculous. Hits are a blessing.
