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.

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
I've always had to deal with being biracial, even in music. When I came on the scene, I'd go to these record labels, and they'd say things like, Lenny Kravitz. That's a weird name. I'm brown-skinned and I've got these dreadlocks and I've got this Jewish last name.
Lenny Kravitz
Working with Gabby [Sidibe], I realized immediately that she was amazingly talented. I could tell just by the way she'd get into the role.
Lenny Kravitz
Being free is a state of mind.
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
I want to get away, I want to fly away. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lenny Kravitz
I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.
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
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
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
One day we're going to watch people fight to the death, like Roman times. Instead of being in a coliseum, we're going to watch it on TV.
