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.

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
There must be an angel, Playing with my heart. And when I think that I'm alone, It seems there's more of us at home...

Fashion is temporary fashion is a race. What it's doing is giving you something that you say, This is the outer wrapping of me. Style is something else. It's not quantifiable. Fashion is about selling. Fashion is about what's in. Style is independent of that style is individual.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

I'm not a risk taker physically. I just have no interest in swinging myself off a mountaintop or parachute gliding or skiing down a totally vertical drop. These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.

You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'
Annie Lennox
Image
I think that you can only be true to yourself. Nobody can live up to other people's expectations. You will always let them down. There will always be something they won't like about you.
Annie Lennox

The inner world is very potent for me - I don't ascribe to any God or Jesus or Buddha - I just have a sense of it and revere it along with the natural world and human consciousness.
Annie Lennox
Image
I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not intensely private - I talk a great deal about my life and my work - I just don't play the game to excess.
Annie Lennox
Image
The world is a heartbreaking place, without any question.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not a Christian, but I think the Christian message is a good one.

My issue with the state of women became incredibly stimulated when I was visiting developing countries and it became obvious that women bore the brunt of so many things in society.
Annie Lennox

It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
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
I used to be obsessed about how I presented myself. I didn't want other people dressing me because I didn't want to be treated like a clothes horse.

Whatever you do, you do out of a passion.

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
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?
