This is the book I never read ~ These are the words I never said ~ This is the path I'll never tread ~ These are the dreams I'll dream instead

I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.

Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
Image
Fundamentally, we are all in the same place: we're born, we live, and we're going to die. In between, we'll have joy and we'll have sadness.
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
Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.
Annie Lennox

I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.
Annie Lennox
Image
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.

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
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

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

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.

HIV/AIDS has no boundaries.
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.

You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'

If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it's not for me. I've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.

I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.

Women empowering other women.They get the psycho-social support. They become part of a community.

Although I have lived in London, I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me, and it has been too.
