More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
Mothers love you to the end, and she didn't want to hold me back from my livelihood. So I left for a month and called her every couple of days. I came home and she died 24 hours later.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm really happy about American Woman, it brought the Guess Who back. They started gigging again and got their song out on commercials.
Lenny Kravitz
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.
Lenny Kravitz
When I stopped trying to write songs, that's when I'm able to begin writing songs. You have to just use your life, and the things around you for your inspiration.
Lenny Kravitz
There's definitely an old school element to my music, but I also think it's modern.
Lenny Kravitz
They think I'm being serious when actually I'm a very big clown. But you have to know me to see that. I'm constantly cracking up and cracking everybody else around me up.
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 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
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
I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.
Lenny Kravitz
I honestly don't remember how I wrote or did the songs. Or the sessions. They all become very much a blur. And each album is like that. It may be that there are different locations, it may take longer, shorter, or whatever, but it's always something that just happened.
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
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.
Lenny Kravitz
After listening to Machine Gun I have to take a nap.
Lenny Kravitz
Music definitely inspires my design all the time.
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
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
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
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
I really didn't know a lot of rock 'n' roll until I moved to L.A. Before that, when I was in New York, I grew up listening mostly to R&B and soul and jazz.
