More quotes by Lenny Kravitz
It's like a dream to come to Spain and stay for a couple of years and get somebody to teach me Spanish music.
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
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
We've always just gotten up there and played. We don't have any dancers, we don't have all that stuff going on, we just get up there and play.
Lenny Kravitz
We're beginning to play God and get into cloning. We give up quickly. Divorce is an easy option. So why not just create your own mate? Synthesize a human being. You get tired of it, turn it off and put it in the closet like the vacuum cleaner.
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 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 very much about the environment, I'm very much about health, about being able to, at the very least, eat organic, whole foods that are healthy for us. And then, of course, everyone being able to eat and at least have a humane way to live. There's enough for everybody, but unfortunately, there's a lot of greed and a lot of ego.
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
My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.
Lenny Kravitz
I didn't really listen to rock 'n' roll until I moved to LA. We would ditch school, go get high, put on Zeppelin IV and just bug out.
Lenny Kravitz
I feel like I'm only in the beginning of my career. I've only made five albums. It's not a lot.
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
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
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
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
I found it a really refreshing change of pace to suddenly be completely directed. It was a type of collaboration that I don't normally have.
Lenny Kravitz
I'm sure at one point I will do some acting again, but it would have to be the right thing. I'm not going to do it just because people are offering it to me. Not for those box-office, bullshit, money, noncreative people. But I'll do it when it's right to do it.
Lenny Kravitz
Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore.
Lenny Kravitz
I get a lot of joy from playing instruments, and I have a different personality on each instrument. I like to let that come out. I get kind of selfish.
