Lenny Kravitz quotes: Romeo Blue’s best stuff.
“Love, creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing.”
“My advice is to work at your craft. Be the best you can be at your craft and do it sincerely. Even in the world we live in today, that will give you longevity. At the end of the day, I want the quality of my work to stand, not how much I did.”

That’s how it happens: when you feel it, you have to seize the moment. When you see it, you see it, wherever you are!”

“My life is perfect because I accept it as it is.”
“None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better. I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they’re absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won’t do anything for you unless you’re a happy person and can have peace with yourself.”
