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.

More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.
Lenny Kravitz
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.
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 definitely happy with everything I've done. I stand behind it. You'll always be saying, Well, I could change that, or I would do that differently. But you have to let it be what it is.
Lenny Kravitz
I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in, change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes, creatively and spiritually.
Lenny Kravitz
My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity.
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
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
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
I just feel so good it feels like a very creative time for me. As far as my mind, spirit, and body, I've never felt better.
Lenny Kravitz
Confusion makes people uncomfortable. They can't put their finger on me.
Lenny Kravitz
I used to do plays and some television commercials when I was younger. I guess my mom's being an actress got me interested in that, but music definitely took its place.
Lenny Kravitz
Are things getting better with each generation? Yes. It's quite interesting to be living in these times, for me to witness an African-American being elected president. It's quite extraordinary.
Lenny Kravitz
Things that would shock us years ago are like nothing now.
Lenny Kravitz
Nine out of ten groups that came out in '89 are gone. I'm still here.
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'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
I fell in love with Paris the first time I went.
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
I've been compared to hundreds of artists, which just goes to show you that I'm not any one thing at all.
