Quote

You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.

I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
If one woman is suffering, then we are all suffering, and we need to put a voice to that.
Annie Lennox
Image
I stand on the shoulders of giants that have gone before me, in terms of affording people like myself, women, the access to democracy, the vote, medical treatment, education, everything that I've been given. It's all been earned.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Annie Lennox
Image
As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.
Annie Lennox
Image
You're never quite sure where the song is going, because you might not find the word to rhyme with the end of the line. You have to find associative meaning to get you there. So it's rather like doing a crossword puzzle backwards. A kind of strange, three-dimensional, abstract crossword puzzle.
Annie Lennox

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
I'm not particularly attention-seeking.
Annie Lennox
Image
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
Image
As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
Annie Lennox
Image
I want to be true to who I am.
Annie Lennox
Image
Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
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.

There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
