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.

We're not interested to know the real heroes. We're really more interested in the villains, actually, and they seem to thrive, and it continues to be business as usual.

Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Annie Lennox

I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.

I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.

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.

I want to be true to who I am.

I think Scotland could take a stand in a wonderful way, ecologically and morally and ethically.

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.
Annie Lennox
Image
I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not really keen on comebacks. Eurythmics was an incredible thing. When I look back on that work, I feel very satisfied with it.
Annie Lennox
Image
I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.

The very fact that the planet is probably unsustainable with all that we've done to it and are doing to it, it's an appalling piece of evidence. It shows our complacency, our lack of passion or inclination to be authentic and really understand our true values. It's consistently depressing, but nevertheless, we carry on.

I chose a career in obstetrics and gynecology because there's something about honoring women, honoring the birth process. We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.

To try to help people have babies in a healthy way and to celebrate the process of delivering a child which will be healthy is, I think, almost the best part of healthcare.

In memory, you can access something from the past, anything that you've experienced that you remember - it's there. Now, you might have a memento of it in a photograph or in a film or a building or some clothes that you wore. There might be something that connects you to this memory. But all of us are just all caught in this time, whatever that is.
