More quotes by 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
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
I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.
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
As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
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
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.
Annie Lennox
We are not consistent. We have both these dark sides and some light as well.
Annie Lennox
You have a bigger view, of something bigger than you, and you have to view that and take that in mind. At times you feel like despair rises up over hope, then other times you feel hopeful again.
Annie Lennox
If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it's not for me. I've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.
Annie Lennox
In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.
Annie Lennox
I haven't lived my life through my daughters. Some parents devote everything to their children, which must be so hard, and it's very beautiful. But I'm a working parent, so I've always kept my own life.
Annie Lennox
When I was younger I wish I'd known that what often seemed to be the 'end of the world' often turned out to be a positive and transformative experience!
Annie Lennox
Success breeds the excitement to continue going.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
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
I want to be true to who I am.
Annie Lennox
Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.
Annie Lennox
Motherhood was the great equaliser for me I started to identify with everybody.
Annie Lennox
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
