A Lot Of My Songs Deal With

Working With Gabby [sidibe], I Realized Immediately That She Was Amazingly Talented. I Could Tell Just By The Way She'd Get Into The Role.

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.

My Mom And Dad Would Take Me All Over. One Night We'd Be At The Apollo Watching James Brown, And Then I'd Be At The Joffrey Ballet. It Was That Kind Of Scene.

It's Interesting To Be Playing A Father Who's On The Other Side Because That's Not My World And Not Where I Came From.

It's A Trip To Have A Greatest Hits Record. It's A Trip.
