Lenny Kravitz Records Quotations

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.

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

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.

Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore.

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

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.

It's a trip to have a Greatest Hits record. It's a trip.

I've had to work very hard, and I don't really have a category or fit into any niche, so each time I come out with a new record, it's like, I'm a new guy.

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.

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.
