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.

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
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.

Image
One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.

Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.
Annie Lennox
Image
We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.

Green is a label for a certain attitude to life, a certain kind of respect that one might have for the very source of things that we take for granted.

Men need to understand, and women too, what feminism is really about.

To try to help people have babies in a healthy way and to celebrate the process of delivering a child which will be healthy is, I think, almost the best part of healthcare.

I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.
