Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
Annie Lennox

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.
Annie Lennox

To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming.

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.

Imagine living in abject poverty and not knowing anything other than that for generations. Or alternatively, imagine being born into a really wealthy family, but there was no real love. Everyone's living these extraordinary, interesting lives whether they know it or not.

I'm not intensely private - I talk a great deal about my life and my work - I just don't play the game to excess.
Annie Lennox
Image
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.

As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
Annie Lennox
Image
A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
Annie Lennox

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.
Annie Lennox

I like where I live here, in London.
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.

I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
Annie Lennox
Image
I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free.
Annie Lennox

Why are we not valuing the word 'feminism' when there is so much work to be done in terms of empowerment and emancipation of women everywhere?
Annie Lennox
Image
I have a lot to be grateful for.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'd rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.
Annie Lennox
Image
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.

Pop stars are so busy having a career that they don't really have a lot of time for activism.
