Always at The Carlyle (2018)

Lenny Kravitz: Self

Quotes 

• Lenny Kravitz : This would be a place where I would bring a date, like, let me see if this - if this girl can hang. You know, if she can understand this and enjoy it and if I brought a girl here and she liked it, I saying, its very major for me; because, yes, its a very exclusive club, its a very distinct thing.

• Lenny Kravitz : I've been coming to The Carlyle since I was about three - four years old. I grew up blocks away from here. I grew up at 5 East 82nd Street and my parents were very close with Bobby Short. I was brought to this room as a small child, made to put on a suit, which I didn't like, which I remember it was very itchy. And I used to sit in this room and listen to Bobby Short.

  Bobby Short : [archival footage singing]  Someday, When I'm awfully old, And the world is cold, I will feel a glow, Just thinking of you, And the way you look tonight...

  Lenny Kravitz : As a kid, you know, by the time I was like five - seven - eight, I didn't really get it. And, you know, you're in a room full of adults, it's quiet, it's dark, and, you know, Bobby's playing Duke Ellington, Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin and so forth; but, one day, I got it. I understood it. And, I fell in love with Bobby and this room.
