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.

Twerking is not feminism. Thats what I’m referring to. It’s not — it’s not liberating, it’s not empowering. It’s a sexual thing that you’re doing on a stage it doesn’t empower you. That’s my feeling about it.

I would like to see the gay population get on board with feminism. It's a beautiful organisation and they've done so much. It seems to me a no-brainer.

I had a number of different labels. A lot of people assumed I was gay because I was wearing a man's suit, and one had to learn that it's OK, people will do that, and you don't always have to explain it one hundred percent, because they're never going to accept what your own interpretation is. It's all illusory.

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

Green is a label for a certain attitude to life, a certain kind of respect that one might have for the very source of things that we take for granted.

If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. '
Annie Lennox
Image
I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.

Whatever you do, you do out of a passion.

Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.

I get very frustrated when I hear women saying, Oh, feminism is passé, because I think feminism means empowerment. Men can be feminists, too! Many men are feminists. We need feminism. It's not against men it's about the empowerment of women. It's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.

I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.

I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.
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.

I enjoy multi-tasking, so I want to do a lot of different things. I want to keep all the plates spinning.

Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion - very powerful emotions. That's what draws millions of people towards it. And, um, I found myself always going for these darker places and - people identify with that.

What's really interesting is when you get a brand-new wave that has no connection to anything else. It always reflects society. The flappers would cut the dresses and make them looser, they smoked, their hair was short. It was a rebellion against the corset and the Edwardian era.

As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.
