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.

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

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.

If I hadn't been a singer, I might have been a photographer or an artist. But it's singing I love. I sing all the time, and I feel really good that I've expressed myself.

I mean, I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know, loss, whether it be death, illness, separation. I mean, the failed expectations... We all have dreams.
Annie Lennox
Image
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.

Success breeds the excitement to continue going.

If one woman is suffering, then we are all suffering, and we need to put a voice to that.

Although I have lived in London, I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me, and it has been too.

People ask me so many questions.
Annie Lennox
Image
I haven't lived my life through my daughters. Some parents devote everything to their children, which must be so hard, and it's very beautiful. But I'm a working parent, so I've always kept my own life.

Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.
Annie Lennox
Image
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.

Whatever you do, you do out of a passion.

I love to be individual, to step beyond gender.
