More quotes by Annie Lennox
I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
Annie Lennox
Fear paralyses you - fear of flying, fear of the future, fear of leaving a rubbish marriage, fear of public speaking, or whatever it is.
Annie Lennox
I love to make music and stay grounded.
Annie Lennox
Success breeds the excitement to continue going.
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
We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
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
Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.
Annie Lennox
I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.
Annie Lennox
Please don't ask me for the actual answer to anything, because I don't have it. Because all I do is look at stuff and ask questions. What can I say? I just think the world's barking mad. Look, I'm not an expert. I'm just an ordinary person.
Annie Lennox
Men need to understand, and women too, what feminism is really about.
Annie Lennox
I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.
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
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
I'm a female but I have a masculine side and I'm not going to negate that part of myself.
Annie Lennox
As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
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 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
I'm not living my life under the spotlight for anybody.
Annie Lennox
I have different hats I'm a mother, I'm a woman, I'm a human being, I'm an artist and hopefully I'm an advocate. All of those plates are things I spin all the time.
