More quotes by Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox
I want to be true to who I am.
Annie Lennox
Bulnerable without strength is vulnerable, and being vulnerable means you can be victimized.
Annie Lennox
There's always darkness around, and if you focus on the darkness, you don't know where to go. But if you direct yourself at the light - there it is! It's right there.
Annie Lennox
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
I don't take myself as seriously as some people think, and I'd hate anyone to think I was preaching. That's the last thing I want.
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.
Annie Lennox
Women empowering other women.They get the psycho-social support. They become part of a community.
Annie Lennox
I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.
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
Our ancestors are totally essential to our every waking moment, although most of us don't even have the faintest idea about their lives, their trials, their hardships or challenges.
Annie Lennox
I've thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn't one. It's a perfectly good word. And it can't be changed.
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
I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-Saharan Africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with HIV are women.
Annie Lennox
There's good stuff and bad stuff, but you continue on. I'm not prescriptive - I cannot tell anyone else what to do with their lives, and I'm a deeply flawed individual - but this is it. We're all just living it and... bless us all.
Annie Lennox
I had a number of different labels. A lot of people assumed I was gay because I was wearing a man's suit, and one had to learn that it's OK, people will do that, and you don't always have to explain it one hundred percent, because they're never going to accept what your own interpretation is. It's all illusory.
Annie Lennox
I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.
Annie Lennox
The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in.
Annie Lennox
I knew that I wanted to be a singer/songwriter when I was much younger and, um, I've been able to, you know, to realize that dream and I'm very pleased with that...I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry...Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion-very powerful emotions.
Annie Lennox
To be human is to have a whole spectrum of these experiences that arise within us.
Annie Lennox
