We would like to see the virtual elimination of the transmission of [HIV] from mother to child by 2015. ... We believe it can be achieved with political will.

It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.
Annie Lennox
Image
If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. '
Annie Lennox
Image
I had a number of different labels. A lot of people assumed I was gay because I was wearing a man's suit, and one had to learn that it's OK, people will do that, and you don't always have to explain it one hundred percent, because they're never going to accept what your own interpretation is. It's all illusory.

Anita Roddick was amazing. Her presence in a room was full of light, and everything she worked to achieve still resonates now.

I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.

As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think that you can only be true to yourself. Nobody can live up to other people's expectations. You will always let them down. There will always be something they won't like about you.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think my daughters have a pretty healthy self-awareness but I can't speak on their behalf.
Annie Lennox
Image
I wanted to create something that was quite edgy and belonged to me. It wasn't about my sexual orientation, because I'm heterosexual. It was saying that appearance is just temporary, and I want to be as strong as a man.
Annie Lennox
Image
To be human is to have a whole spectrum of these experiences that arise within us.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not a risk taker physically. I just have no interest in swinging myself off a mountaintop or parachute gliding or skiing down a totally vertical drop. These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.

In the States, the HIV transmission from mother to child is almost completely preventable - the only mothers who really do transmit it are the ones who don't come in for care. If a mother in the United States or in Europe or in the UK comes to care and gets her medicines, she will have an HIV negative baby. Most people don't know that.

I'm not intensely private - I talk a great deal about my life and my work - I just don't play the game to excess.
Annie Lennox
Image
I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.
Annie Lennox
Image
I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Annie Lennox
Image
I guess what I'm passionate about is, I see so many things that I find that there's no real solution to, and you're only here for such a brief moment in time, even if you live to be a hundred years old. Yet, what happens within that time frame? So many things happen.

Humankind seems to have an enormous capacity for savagery, for brutality, for lack of empathy, for lack of compassion.

My issue with the state of women became incredibly stimulated when I was visiting developing countries and it became obvious that women bore the brunt of so many things in society.
