Biography
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.

[re Michael Fassbender dating daughter Zoë Kravitz] Well, the door rang, and there he was, and he said, 'Good to meet you, sir,' and I was like, 'Sir? We ain't that far apart.'

[on why he likes acting] It's not all about me. When I make music , it is all about me - I write it, I record it, I produce it. I'm involved in engineering and mixing. It's a big me-fest. That's fine, that's how it works, but it's nice to walk away from yourself and serve a director's vision and a character - and it has nothing to do with you.

[on his mother explaining his racial heritage - a Russian Jewish father, and a Bahamian mother] I remember her telling me, 'I want you to know your heritage. You are no more one thing than another, but society will only see you as black'. I don't even know if I understood what that really meant, but I think I somehow got it, and got it more a couple of years...

You are no more one thing than another, but society will only see you as black'. I don't even know if I understood what that really meant, but I think I somehow got it, and got it more a couple of years later - that people weren't going to see both sides. As people used to say back in the day, and maybe still say today, one drop of black blood and you're black. That's it.

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.

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

[on the wearing of fur] My great-grandmother was a Cherokee. With the Indians, it wasn't slaughter. I have some vintage fur. I don't buy new stuff.

Lenny Kravitz
Four time Grammy Award-winner Leonard Albert Kravitz was born on May 26, 1964 in Manhattan, New York City, New York, the only child of actress Roxie Roker and Hollywood producer Sy Kravitz. The family moved to California when Lenny was ten. His father was Jewish and his mother was of African-American and Afro-Bahamian ancestry.He started playing the drums and guitar at the age of five, influenced by his parents' love of R&B, jazz, classical, opera and blues. In Los Angeles, his mother encouraged him to join the California Boys Choir and Metropolitan Choir. He attended Beverly Hills High School, where he was a contemporary of Slash from Guns N' Roses, graduating in 1982.In the late 1980s he returned to New York to pursue his musical career. Here he met and married Lisa Bonet, who played Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show (1984). They had one child together, a daughter Zoe, but would divorce in 1993.Kravitz signed to Virgin in 1989, releasing his debut album "Let Love Rule" that same year. Just like one of his major early influences, Prince, Kravitz played nearly all the instruments on the album. "Let Love Rule" met mixed critical reviews; his second album, "Mama Said", released two years later, provided him with his major breakthrough. It reached the top 40 of the Billboard album chart, while the single "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" (influenced by his break up with Bonet) reached #2 in the singles charts.His third album "Are You Gonna Go My Way", released in 1994, earned a BRIT award for best international male artist. Following the release of "5" in 1998 and the single "Fly Away", Kravitz won the first of four Grammys for Best Male Vocal Rock Performance.He has also co-written and produced material for various artists such as Madonna, Vanessa Paradis, and Steven Tyler as well as performing on tracks for Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Jay Z.While probably best known for his musical career, Kravitz has appeared in a number of movies, most notably his screen debut Precious (2009) and most recently The Hunger Games (2012), in which he played the role of Cinna, the soft-spoken designer who turns Katniss Everdeen Jennifer Lawrence into a star.Kravitz had a supporting role in Precious (2009) director Lee Daniels' film, The Butler (2013), and reprised his role as Cinna in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013).
