Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.

You just decide what your values are in life and what you are going to do, and then you feel like you count, and that makes life worth living. It makes my life meaningful.

The contrast of the world that we live in and the world that is here in Aspen and the world inhabited by women who have no resources, little or no, very few resources - huge disparity.

I knew that I wanted to be a singer/songwriter when I was much younger and, um, I've been able to, you know, to realize that dream and I'm very pleased with that...I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry...Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion-very powerful emotions.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
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 want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.
Annie Lennox

Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.

In a way, it's all down to perception, isn't it? And everyone has their own take on everything.
Annie Lennox

It was very easy for me to dedicate myself to the care of mothers, help them have healthy babies, help them be healthy, help them in a place where they don't have opportunities. Success breeds the excitement to continue going. It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.

To be human is to have a whole spectrum of these experiences that arise within us.

We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.

If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.

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.
