I grew up in a middle class household with parents, went to good schools, and never feared for anything, never wanted for anything that was really important.

Annie Lennox

When you're that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can't really tell whether you have created the momentum or it's creating you.

The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
Annie Lennox

There was a time when I looked to other people for recognition, because I didn't have enough confidence to trust my own judgment. Now I'm not looking for reassurance, because I realize how fickle people are. My own strength is the best I can have.
Annie Lennox

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.
