Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Annie Lennox
Image
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.

If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. '
Annie Lennox
Image
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.

You're never quite sure where the song is going, because you might not find the word to rhyme with the end of the line. You have to find associative meaning to get you there. So it's rather like doing a crossword puzzle backwards. A kind of strange, three-dimensional, abstract crossword puzzle.

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.

I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.

Imagine living in abject poverty and not knowing anything other than that for generations. Or alternatively, imagine being born into a really wealthy family, but there was no real love. Everyone's living these extraordinary, interesting lives whether they know it or not.
Annie Lennox
Image
Such is the scale and depth of poverty in many parts of the world that it won't be ended overnight. That is why if, like me, you want to see an end to poverty, you need to be in it for the long haul.
Annie Lennox
Image
Medicine comes with hope: the hope of having a healthy child, the hope of being able to raise your family.
Annie Lennox
Image
We are not consistent. We have both these dark sides and some light as well.
Annie Lennox
Image
The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition.
Annie Lennox
Image
When I was younger I wish I'd known that what often seemed to be the 'end of the world' often turned out to be a positive and transformative experience!
Annie Lennox
Image
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
Image
I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.
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
Men need to understand, and women too, what feminism is really about.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Annie Lennox

I'm passionate about everything, actually. I'm passionate about life.
