More quotes by Annie Lennox
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Annie Lennox
Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.
Annie Lennox
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Annie Lennox
Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.
Annie Lennox
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
I think Scotland could take a stand in a wonderful way, ecologically and morally and ethically.
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
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
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.
Annie Lennox
We are not consistent. We have both these dark sides and some light as well.
Annie Lennox
I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
I've had my share of dark days of the soul. I try not to focus on it too much so it doesn't get to me.
Annie Lennox
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
If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.
Annie Lennox
I think the whole experience of being a human being on the planet is such a mystery, to be honest. Trying to figure out one's purpose and [asking] What is it all about?
Annie Lennox
Such is the scale and depth of poverty in many parts of the world that it won't be ended overnight. That is why if, like me, you want to see an end to poverty, you need to be in it for the long haul.
Annie Lennox
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.
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?'
