More quotes by Annie Lennox
I love to be individual, to step beyond gender.
Annie Lennox
Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
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
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
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
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
Women empowering other women.They get the psycho-social support. They become part of a community.
Annie Lennox

It was very easy for me to dedicate myself to the care of mothers, help them have healthy babies, help them be healthy, help them in a place where they don't have opportunities. Success breeds the excitement to continue going. It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
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
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
Success breeds the excitement to continue going.
Annie Lennox
I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.
Annie Lennox
One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.
Annie Lennox
Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.
Annie Lennox
The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition. You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding. We create these communities from women who share common conditions, and those mothers carry each other through.
Annie Lennox
Men need to understand, and women too, what feminism is really about.
Annie Lennox
Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
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.
