The image is an image. — Lenny Kravitz

The image that the public gets is whatever they perceive it to be. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has their own vision, so I don’t know what my public image is. I have no idea. — Lenny Kravitz

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I’m this cool, brooding artist. But I’m just having fun with it. — 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

Love , creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing. — Lenny Kravitz

God is love and if you are ready, he always is. — Lenny Kravitz

I’m a very open and loving person. My whole thing has been ‘let love rule’ since my first album. I’m about unity and peace and God. — Lenny Kravitz

Love is the most powerful energy there is. — Lenny Kravitz

There’s nothing more that we love than having a close, personal, open relationship, and I believe that’s what God wants. — Lenny Kravitz

But as far as jason momoa and i ? literally the moment we met, we were like,’ oh, yeah. i love this dude,’. — Lenny Kravitz

God forbid you sing about love. It’s a lost concept. — Lenny Kravitz

People can’t believe how tight jason momoa and i are, or how tight i still am with zoë’s mom, how we all relate, we just do it because that’s what you do. you let love rule, right ? — 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

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

If I had to associate myself with one song, it would probably be Let Love Rule. It’s so simple and to the point. It speaks for itself. — 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

When I hear music, it’s visual; I see things. — Lenny Kravitz

There’s definitely an old school element to my music, but I also think it’s modern. — 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

I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless. — Lenny Kravitz

Music definitely inspires my design all the time. — Lenny Kravitz

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars. — Lenny Kravitz

I was in Paris last year, where there’s a great appreciation of many different aspects of African culture and of black culture. The music… the art… whatever… And I kind of went with that. — 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

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. — Lenny Kravitz

I’m so happy. I am able to see the world just by making music, just by doing the thing that I loved doing when I was five years old. — Lenny Kravitz

I haven’t thought about making a music film, but if I did, that would be a very interesting idea. — 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

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

God is always in my life, and that’s the most important thing to me. — Lenny Kravitz

My life is perfect because I accept it as it is. — Lenny Kravitz

Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through. — Lenny Kravitz

I just live my life and try to be present. When I’m present in the moment and something comes, I can capture it, because it doesn’t come from me, it’s out there. — Lenny Kravitz

I don’t go to church so much, the way my life is, but it’s in me every day. — Lenny Kravitz

I’ve lived my life dealing with everybody. And that’s how it’s always been for me. — Lenny Kravitz

Later on in life I was like, ‘Wow!’ because that’s exactly how it was. They don’t care that you’re mixed. They see you as one color. — Lenny Kravitz

That’s a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be. — Lenny Kravitz

What motivates it is life. Life is everything. Life influences my music and brings it forth. Life is always changing, so I’m always hearing new music. — Lenny Kravitz

There’s certain things in life that I love. One is architecture. And music, culture, food, people. New Orleans has all of that. — 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

Fly Away changed my life. There are certain songs that do. When I won the Grammy, I was in Paris. I sort of forgot about it. — 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

You can start something, do it, and believe that that’s what you’re doing, but then the inspiration comes and it’s like, ‘Nope, this is what it is. — Lenny Kravitz

There are so many people that don’t believe in themselves and don’t have faith. — Lenny Kravitz

It’s very important to vote. People died for this right. — Lenny Kravitz

I never sit down to write or say, ‘Today, I have to record something.’ I wait to hear it and then I go for it. — Lenny Kravitz

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary. — Lenny Kravitz

I think it’d be a real nightmare to put a record out and sell 20 million copies and then that’s it. — 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’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

It’s a trip to have a Greatest Hits record. It’s a trip. — Lenny Kravitz

If you heard my records and no one told you, I don’t think you’d know whether it’s a band or one guy. — 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

I wasn’t the kind of person that liked waiting for autographs or following them, I just liked to go to the shows, study their records, driving many, many hours to different states to go to concerts. — Lenny Kravitz

When I was a kid and I bought a record, I ripped that thing open, I wanted to know who was playing what, what studio it was cut at, who was the string arranger, who was the engineer. — Lenny Kravitz

You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don’t realize what it’s really like. — 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. — Lenny Kravitz

On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father. — Lenny Kravitz

I had no idea ‘The Hunger Games’ was so big. I didn’t even know the book. I had been living under my own rock. — 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

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

People feel they have to live that stereotypical lifestyle in order to be a rock star. You don’t have to shoot heroin and act a certain way to be a rock and roll musician. — 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. — Lenny Kravitz
