Kravitz: "Confusion makes people uncomfortable. They can't put their finger on me."

Kravitz: "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."

Kravitz: "I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself."

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."

Kravitz: "Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth."

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."

Kravitz: "I identify with women more than men. I guess I have a strong feminine side."

Kravitz: "People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music."

Kravitz: "You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like."

Kravitz: "We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being."

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."

Kravitz: "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."

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."

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."

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

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."

Kravitz: "I never sit down to write. When I'm moved, I do it. I just wait for it to come. You just hear it. I can't really describe writing. It's in my head."

Kravitz: "I'm always sort of reflecting on what I do on what I've done. Usually before I make a new album, I'll listen to the previous albums just to see where I've been."

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."
