More quotes by Annie Lennox
What's really interesting is when you get a brand-new wave that has no connection to anything else. It always reflects society. The flappers would cut the dresses and make them looser, they smoked, their hair was short. It was a rebellion against the corset and the Edwardian era.
Annie Lennox
Anita Roddick was amazing. Her presence in a room was full of light, and everything she worked to achieve still resonates now.
Annie Lennox
I guess what I'm passionate about is, I see so many things that I find that there's no real solution to, and you're only here for such a brief moment in time, even if you live to be a hundred years old. Yet, what happens within that time frame? So many things happen.
Annie Lennox
If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it's not for me. I've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.
Annie Lennox
If you come face to face with some really challenging situations and tragic circumstances - you are going in there with a purpose. You are not going in there as a tourist.
Annie Lennox
I think my daughters have a pretty healthy self-awareness but I can't speak on their behalf.
Annie Lennox
The music industry has always been a beast, which would eat you up and spit you out.
Annie Lennox
The person who inspired me the most was a friend of mine, Anita Roddick. I know that Anita wasn't known to be an ardent feminist, but she truly was.
Annie Lennox
To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming.
Annie Lennox
I think Scotland could take a stand in a wonderful way, ecologically and morally and ethically.
Annie Lennox
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
Annie Lennox
The general population still thinks HIV is something that came in the 80s and went away, or that it only affects the gay population or intravenous drug users.
Annie Lennox
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
You have a bigger view, of something bigger than you, and you have to view that and take that in mind. At times you feel like despair rises up over hope, then other times you feel hopeful again.
Annie Lennox
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Annie Lennox
As you get older, there will be a new challenge arising. What you thought you'd accomplished once, maybe the goal post has shifted and it's not what you're pursuing anymore, because you're not interested in that anymore, you know?
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
I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.
Annie Lennox
You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'
Annie Lennox
I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.
Annie Lennox
