Let me be the only one to keep you from the cold Now the floor of hell is laid, the stars are bright as gold They light for you, they shine for you They burn for all to see Come into these arms again and set your spirit free

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

You wouldn't find a Joni Mitchell on 'X Factor' that's not the place. 'X Factor' is a specific thing for people that want to go through that process - it's a factory, you know, and it's owned and stitched-up by puppet masters.

You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding.

I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.

I love to be individual, to step beyond gender.

Why are we not valuing the word 'feminism' when there is so much work to be done in terms of empowerment and emancipation of women everywhere?
Annie Lennox

Please don't ask me for the actual answer to anything, because I don't have it. Because all I do is look at stuff and ask questions. What can I say? I just think the world's barking mad. Look, I'm not an expert. I'm just an ordinary person.

Music is a great vehicle for communications, and I have a certain platform. I have an opportunity and I have to take it.
Annie Lennox
Image
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.

The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
Annie Lennox
Image
I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well.
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
Image
When women get together as a group, it is immensely powerful.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
People ask me so many questions.
Annie Lennox
Image
Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.

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.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
