I haven't lived my life through my daughters. Some parents devote everything to their children, which must be so hard, and it's very beautiful. But I'm a working parent, so I've always kept my own life.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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.
Annie Lennox
Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
Annie Lennox
Medicine comes with hope: the hope of having a healthy child, the hope of being able to raise your family.
Annie Lennox
I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.
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
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 have a lot to be grateful for.
Annie Lennox
Women's issues have always been a part of my life. My goal is to bring the word 'feminism' back into the zeitgeist and reframe it.
Annie Lennox
In memory, you can access something from the past, anything that you've experienced that you remember - it's there. Now, you might have a memento of it in a photograph or in a film or a building or some clothes that you wore. There might be something that connects you to this memory. But all of us are just all caught in this time, whatever that is.
Annie Lennox
I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.
Annie Lennox
A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
Annie Lennox
We're not interested to know the real heroes. We're really more interested in the villains, actually, and they seem to thrive, and it continues to be business as usual.
Annie Lennox
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
It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
Annie Lennox
My first understanding of HIV and AIDS was like everybody else from my generation. In the mid-'80s, we heard about this, and it was terrifying, because we knew nothing about how to respond to it appropriately, and we didn't really understand about how the virus is passed. There was a lot of misconception about that.
Annie Lennox
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
I'm passionate about everything, actually. I'm passionate about life.
Annie Lennox
