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.

More quotes by Annie Lennox
We think that this is just our world and we don't know what other people are thinking. Music actually is a phenomenal connector in that respect. It's a special language that defines certain boundaries and connects people in a particular way, a very emotional way, I have found.
Annie Lennox
If you do nothing, if a mother doesn't come for care, if she breastfeeds her baby, the chances of the baby getting HIV are about 40%. So it's about the difference between 40% and zero. This is almost totally preventable. But it requires mothers coming for care and getting the medicines they need, and getting the education and support they need.
Annie Lennox
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
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
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
There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
Annie Lennox
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
There needs to be a shift in consciousness there needs to be an absolute wake-up call before society can actually make the kind of incredibly significant changes that need to happen.
Annie Lennox
I think it takes a lot to put oneself in a place where, you know, that thing about Feel the fear and do it anyway. You wonder what the driving force is that makes you want to do that and not just stay in a safer place.
Annie Lennox
In a way, it's all down to perception, isn't it? And everyone has their own take on everything.
Annie Lennox
There is a big difference between what I do onstage and what I do in my private life. I don't put my living room on magazine pages.
Annie Lennox
I'm passionate about everything, actually. I'm passionate about life.
Annie Lennox
I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox
The dynamic between two individuals starts off with everything warm and nice and fabulous and good. Working and living together can serve you quite well, but when it starts to go wrong - oh, boy!
Annie Lennox
Something that's of common interest to every man, woman and child on the planet must surely be the notion of 'Peace'. Without 'Peace' we cannot survive. Valentine's Day is on the 14 February. Christmas Day is on the 25 December. Peace Day has been established by the United Nations on the 21 September, and the whole world is invited to participate.
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
I have a lot to be grateful for.
Annie Lennox
I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free.
Annie Lennox
I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.
Annie Lennox
The contrast of the world that we live in and the world that is here in Aspen and the world inhabited by women who have no resources, little or no, very few resources - huge disparity.
Annie Lennox
