A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.

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.

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

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.

Music definitely inspires my design all the time.

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.

I want to do interiors, furniture. I want to do architecture, although I'm not an architect. Nor am I a trained interior designer.
