More quotes by Annie Lennox
I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.
Annie Lennox
I wanted to create something that was quite edgy and belonged to me. It wasn't about my sexual orientation, because I'm heterosexual. It was saying that appearance is just temporary, and I want to be as strong as a man.
Annie Lennox
I find beauty in a very independent state. It lives quietly. It's there to be discovered.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
I'm not a risk taker physically. I just have no interest in swinging myself off a mountaintop or parachute gliding or skiing down a totally vertical drop. These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.
Annie Lennox
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
Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community.
Annie Lennox
Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.
Annie Lennox
I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-Saharan Africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with HIV are women.
Annie Lennox
The music industry has always been a beast, which would eat you up and spit you out.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
Bulnerable without strength is vulnerable, and being vulnerable means you can be victimized.
Annie Lennox
When women get together as a group, it is immensely powerful.
Annie Lennox
We're not interested to know the real heroes. We're really more interested in the villains, actually, and they seem to thrive, and it continues to be business as usual.
Annie Lennox
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
Annie Lennox
I think it takes a lot to put oneself in a place where, you know, that thing about Feel the fear and do it anyway. You wonder what the driving force is that makes you want to do that and not just stay in a safer place.
Annie Lennox
If you do nothing, if a mother doesn't come for care, if she breastfeeds her baby, the chances of the baby getting HIV are about 40%. So it's about the difference between 40% and zero. This is almost totally preventable. But it requires mothers coming for care and getting the medicines they need, and getting the education and support they need.
Annie Lennox
It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
Annie Lennox
You have to be quite grounded, and I don't know what that is. Sometimes, that means being vulnerable.
Annie Lennox
There's always darkness around, and if you focus on the darkness, you don't know where to go. But if you direct yourself at the light - there it is! It's right there.
Annie Lennox
