More quotes by Annie Lennox

Image
When things are starting to work, you get up at five in the morning thinking, what are we going to do today? You stay up until one in the morning getting it done, and then you start the next day with the same energy, because it's working!
Annie Lennox
Image
The very fact that the planet is probably unsustainable with all that we've done to it and are doing to it, it's an appalling piece of evidence. It shows our complacency, our lack of passion or inclination to be authentic and really understand our true values. It's consistently depressing, but nevertheless, we carry on.
Annie Lennox
Image
A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
Annie Lennox
Image
Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.
Annie Lennox
Image
It's not fair to compare one artist to another because they all come with their own sort of elements to the picnic, you know.
Annie Lennox
Image
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm passionate about everything, actually. I'm passionate about life.
Annie Lennox
Image
There needs to be a shift in consciousness there needs to be an absolute wake-up call before society can actually make the kind of incredibly significant changes that need to happen.
Annie Lennox
Image
I don't take myself as seriously as some people think, and I'd hate anyone to think I was preaching. That's the last thing I want.
Annie Lennox
Image
I have a reputation for being cold and aloof, but I'm so not that woman. I'm passionate. I love my girls, being with my girlfriends, getting involved with issues that affect other women and children who are suffering.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
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
Image
It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.
Annie Lennox
Image
HIV/AIDS has no boundaries.
Annie Lennox
Image
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
Image
Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.
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
We think that this is just our world and we don't know what other people are thinking. Music actually is a phenomenal connector in that respect. It's a special language that defines certain boundaries and connects people in a particular way, a very emotional way, I have found.
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.
