I would like to see the gay population get on board with feminism. It's a beautiful organisation and they've done so much. It seems to me a no-brainer.

As you get older, there will be a new challenge arising. What you thought you'd accomplished once, maybe the goal post has shifted and it's not what you're pursuing anymore, because you're not interested in that anymore, you know?
Annie Lennox

I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.
Annie Lennox
Image
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.

Medicine comes with hope: the hope of having a healthy child, the hope of being able to raise your family.
Annie Lennox

The inner world is very potent for me - I don't ascribe to any God or Jesus or Buddha - I just have a sense of it and revere it along with the natural world and human consciousness.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think that the thing is, all those years of creating music or trying to express something of a dark shadow, an existential angst that I have felt most of my life and still feel today, to not be overwhelmed by it. Music, in a way, is a great vehicle, a means by which one can express all these somewhat contradictory feelings.

I find beauty in a very independent state. It lives quietly. It's there to be discovered.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not living my life under the spotlight for anybody.

Why are we not valuing the word 'feminism' when there is so much work to be done in terms of empowerment and emancipation of women everywhere?
Annie Lennox
Image
Such is the scale and depth of poverty in many parts of the world that it won't be ended overnight. That is why if, like me, you want to see an end to poverty, you need to be in it for the long haul.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.
