If one woman is suffering, then we are all suffering, and we need to put a voice to that.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Fundamentally, we are all in the same place: we're born, we live, and we're going to die. In between, we'll have joy and we'll have sadness.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm passionate about everything, actually. I'm passionate about life.
Annie Lennox
Image
I wanted to create something that was quite edgy and belonged to me. It wasn't about my sexual orientation, because I'm heterosexual. It was saying that appearance is just temporary, and I want to be as strong as a man.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm a female but I have a masculine side and I'm not going to negate that part of myself.
Annie Lennox

It's a very telling thing when you have children. You have to be there for them, you've got to set an example, when you're not sure what your example is, and anyway the world is changing so fast you don't know what is appropriate anymore.
Annie Lennox
Image
I have a reputation for being cold and aloof, but I'm so not that woman. I'm passionate. I love my girls, being with my girlfriends, getting involved with issues that affect other women and children who are suffering.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not really keen on comebacks. Eurythmics was an incredible thing. When I look back on that work, I feel very satisfied with it.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
There's a lot of women's organisations, but they're all working separately. If you get people together, as a collaborative voice, it's strong.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not a Christian, but I think the Christian message is a good one.
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 also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Annie Lennox
Image
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
Annie Lennox
Image
To try to help people have babies in a healthy way and to celebrate the process of delivering a child which will be healthy is, I think, almost the best part of healthcare.
Annie Lennox
Image
You become really ugly when you become very superficial and self-obsessed.
Annie Lennox
Image
I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think my daughters have a pretty healthy self-awareness but I can't speak on their behalf.
