More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
You can't even sing or play an instrument, so you just scream instead. You're living for an image, so you got five hundred women in your bed.
Lenny Kravitz
We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.
Lenny Kravitz
I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It's a reality.
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
My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.
Lenny Kravitz
I was always talking about peace and love, even when I was a kid. That's how I grew up in my family.
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
I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.
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
I'm experiencing the mood to go out and share the music. I don't look at these concerts as a platform for people to watch me, look at me. No, a tour is about an interaction. A thing, myself, a band, and the people who support what I do and enjoy what I do.
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
One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it's yours.
Lenny Kravitz
I bought [John Lennon's] 'Plastic Ono Band,' and I listened to it over and over for months. It's a monumental work of genius.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm just looking for interesting roles and giving acting the respect it deserves.
Lenny Kravitz
Eleutheria, the fire is burning. Eleutheria, the tables are turning.
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
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'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
Good design is being able to put a $100,000 thing next to a $20 thing. If it looks right and it works then it works. It doesn't have to be expensive it's all about the high meets low for me.
Lenny Kravitz
This world is so crazy. So many things are based on popularity versus talent. So there's a lot of folks who are not so talented, but they're popular and they have x amount of followers on social media.
