More quotes by Annie Lennox
I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.
Annie Lennox
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
Annie Lennox
I've thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn't one. It's a perfectly good word. And it can't be changed.
Annie Lennox
I didn't want to be a Barbie doll. I didn't want to be a passive entertainer. It wasn't how I wanted to present myself.
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.
Annie Lennox
Something that's of common interest to every man, woman and child on the planet must surely be the notion of 'Peace'. Without 'Peace' we cannot survive. Valentine's Day is on the 14 February. Christmas Day is on the 25 December. Peace Day has been established by the United Nations on the 21 September, and the whole world is invited to participate.
Annie Lennox
I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Annie Lennox
It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
Annie Lennox
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
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
Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.
Annie Lennox
We would like to see the virtual elimination of the transmission of [HIV] from mother to child by 2015. ... We believe it can be achieved with political will.
Annie Lennox
I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.
Annie Lennox
You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.
Annie Lennox
I love to make music and stay grounded.
Annie Lennox
I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.
Annie Lennox
The music scene in the '70s was like the United Kingdom in the '70s - we had a lot of unemployment, we had inflation, we had a lot of strikes going on, on a national scale, and a lot of discontent. That was reflected in the music.
Annie Lennox
I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.
Annie Lennox
Success breeds the excitement to continue going.
Annie Lennox
In memory, you can access something from the past, anything that you've experienced that you remember - it's there. Now, you might have a memento of it in a photograph or in a film or a building or some clothes that you wore. There might be something that connects you to this memory. But all of us are just all caught in this time, whatever that is.
Annie Lennox
