More quotes by 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 was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It's a reality.
Lenny Kravitz
People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.
Lenny Kravitz
I want to get away, I want to fly away. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
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
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
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
I want to do interiors, furniture. I want to do architecture, although I'm not an architect. Nor am I a trained interior designer.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm just as white as I am black, and I'm just as Russian Jew as I am West Indian.
Lenny Kravitz
If you look at the guys in the '70s, like Led Zeppelin, they had bigger planes than we do, they had more money. But they weren't singing about it.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm always sort of reflecting on what I do on what I've done. Usually before I make a new album, I'll listen to the previous albums just to see where I've been.
Lenny Kravitz
My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity.
Lenny Kravitz
I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.
Lenny Kravitz
I mean, look at the people we celebrate - a lot of people who really don't do anything. They just walk the red carpets and go to all the parties, and they're hooked up with the right people, so they're celebrities. But what for?
Lenny Kravitz
When I'm doing interiors - especially the ones where you really have full creative freedom - it's about creating an environment for people to feel so comfortable and at ease. I want them to become inspired to live and feel better.
Lenny Kravitz
If you ask a hundred people, they all give you different answers.
Lenny Kravitz
The loyalty rate isn't that high. I could have a big hit, then put out the next single, and they say, Oh yeah, who are you? Prove it again.
Lenny Kravitz
It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.
Lenny Kravitz
I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.
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.
