Last week, ahead of celebrating his new album and new decade, Kravitz spoke with Gayle King on CBS Mornings and revealed he”s ready for love now more than ever in his 60s.

“Right now, I”m just open,” he said of his love life, adding that he is always looking — which might be the problem. “When you desire something, you”re looking for it, right? But I find that when you don”t look is when you find it.”

He added, “I can say that I”ve never felt how I feel now.”
