I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.

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.

Fashion is temporary fashion is a race. What it's doing is giving you something that you say, This is the outer wrapping of me. Style is something else. It's not quantifiable. Fashion is about selling. Fashion is about what's in. Style is independent of that style is individual.
Annie Lennox

Imagine living in abject poverty and not knowing anything other than that for generations. Or alternatively, imagine being born into a really wealthy family, but there was no real love. Everyone's living these extraordinary, interesting lives whether they know it or not.
Annie Lennox
Image
There's a lot of women's organisations, but they're all working separately. If you get people together, as a collaborative voice, it's strong.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not really keen on comebacks. Eurythmics was an incredible thing. When I look back on that work, I feel very satisfied with it.
Annie Lennox
Image
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Annie Lennox
Image
There is a big difference between what I do onstage and what I do in my private life. I don't put my living room on magazine pages.
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
You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'
Annie Lennox
Image
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
Annie Lennox

I mean, I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know, loss, whether it be death, illness, separation. I mean, the failed expectations... We all have dreams.
