More quotes by Annie Lennox
Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
Annie Lennox
I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
I'm not particularly attention-seeking.
Annie Lennox
The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition. You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding. We create these communities from women who share common conditions, and those mothers carry each other through.
Annie Lennox
I stand on the shoulders of giants that have gone before me, in terms of affording people like myself, women, the access to democracy, the vote, medical treatment, education, everything that I've been given. It's all been earned.
Annie Lennox
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
Our ancestors are totally essential to our every waking moment, although most of us don't even have the faintest idea about their lives, their trials, their hardships or challenges.
Annie Lennox
I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Annie Lennox
Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.
Annie Lennox
We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
Annie Lennox
As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.
Annie Lennox
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
I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.
Annie Lennox
I used to be obsessed about how I presented myself. I didn't want other people dressing me because I didn't want to be treated like a clothes horse.
Annie Lennox
Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.
Annie Lennox
One realizes after a long time that, actually, we are contradictory, all of us.
Annie Lennox
I think the whole experience of being a human being on the planet is such a mystery, to be honest. Trying to figure out one's purpose and [asking] What is it all about?
Annie Lennox
Women's issues have always been a part of my life. My goal is to bring the word 'feminism' back into the zeitgeist and reframe it.
Annie Lennox
You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.
