There must be an angel, Playing with my heart. And when I think that I'm alone, It seems there's more of us at home...

More quotes by 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 think that you can only be true to yourself. Nobody can live up to other people's expectations. You will always let them down. There will always be something they won't like about you.
Annie Lennox
You have to be quite grounded, and I don't know what that is. Sometimes, that means being vulnerable.
Annie Lennox
The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition. You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding. We create these communities from women who share common conditions, and those mothers carry each other through.
Annie Lennox
I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.
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
Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.
Annie Lennox
People ask me so many questions.
Annie Lennox
I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
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
It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
Annie Lennox
I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free.
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
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
There is a big difference between what I do onstage and what I do in my private life. I don't put my living room on magazine pages.
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
I was perceiving myself as good as a man or equal to a man and as powerful and I wanted to look ambiguous because I thought that was a very interesting statement to make through the media. And it certainly did cause quite a few ripples and interest and shock waves.
Annie Lennox
I love to be individual, to step beyond gender.
Annie Lennox
