More quotes by Annie Lennox
There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
Annie Lennox
There is a big difference between what I do onstage and what I do in my private life. I don't put my living room on magazine pages.
Annie Lennox
Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.
Annie Lennox
I was brought up in a tenement house in a working district. We didn't even have a bathroom! We had a gaslight in the hallway and a black-and-white TV.
Annie Lennox
It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.
Annie Lennox
I chose a career in obstetrics and gynecology because there's something about honoring women, honoring the birth process. We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
Annie Lennox
I have always been a very visual person and a keen observer.
Annie Lennox
I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.
Annie Lennox
Anita Roddick was amazing. Her presence in a room was full of light, and everything she worked to achieve still resonates now.
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
As you get older, there will be a new challenge arising. What you thought you'd accomplished once, maybe the goal post has shifted and it's not what you're pursuing anymore, because you're not interested in that anymore, you know?
Annie Lennox
Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community.
Annie Lennox
More than anything, I think everything about appearance is illusory. People see you, and they think they understand what you're projecting, but actually, they have their own interpretation of it, or they put a label on you.
Annie Lennox
The poetic side of me is Scottish.
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
You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'
Annie Lennox
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Annie Lennox
The momentum of time is always going forward. You cannot repeat what has been done before. You can't go back.
Annie Lennox
If you come face to face with some really challenging situations and tragic circumstances - you are going in there with a purpose. You are not going in there as a tourist.
Annie Lennox
If someone says something unpleasant, I can't say it doesn't smart a bit. It always does. Someone can take a really nasty swipe if they want because it kind of feels powerful for a person to write in a paper and get that thing out there.
Annie Lennox
