Lenny Kravitz ponders past 'sacrifices' as he looks to new love

Paris - Lenny Kravitz is busy. Just turned 51, he's still looking like the rock sex symbol he's always been, and he's also expanding his artistic horizons as a photographer, an actor and a designer.

But in an interview this week with AFP in Paris, the city that he half calls home (along with his other place in the Bahamas), he admits there is one thing missing, something he sings about the most: love.

"I've sacrificed certain things for my artform," he says. 

"Between the music... the photography, the acting, and the design company that I run, it's pretty much 24/7," he says.

"But I can feel that it's time -- you know, those things will continue, because I love them -- but I need to make room for a new personal life."

It might seem surprising from a guy who's been linked to a long line of beauties, from his wife between 1987 and 1993, Lisa Bonet, to a subsequent string of stunning girlfriends: French singer Vanessa Paradis, Australian singers Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia, Brazilian model Adriana Lima and Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

But now, as he puts it, "I'm waiting to see what happens -- I'm a free man."

He adds: "There's times you say, 'Man, I'd love to be married again, and I'd love to have a family' and all of these things. But I've sacrificed that for all of these things that I do."
