Quote

I'd rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.

I'm appalled that the word 'feminism' has been denigrated to a place of almost ridicule and I very passionately believe the word needs to be revalued and reintroduced with power and understanding that this is a global picture. It isn't about us and them.

We think that this is just our world and we don't know what other people are thinking. Music actually is a phenomenal connector in that respect. It's a special language that defines certain boundaries and connects people in a particular way, a very emotional way, I have found.

It's not fair to compare one artist to another because they all come with their own sort of elements to the picnic, you know.

I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?

The music industry has always been a beast, which would eat you up and spit you out.

Anita Roddick was amazing. Her presence in a room was full of light, and everything she worked to achieve still resonates now.

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.

You have to be quite grounded, and I don't know what that is. Sometimes, that means being vulnerable.
Annie Lennox

I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox
Image
I would like to see the gay population get on board with feminism. It's a beautiful organisation and they've done so much. It seems to me a no-brainer.
Annie Lennox
Image
I like where I live here, in London.
Annie Lennox
Image
There was a time when I looked to other people for recognition, because I didn't have enough confidence to trust my own judgment. Now I'm not looking for reassurance, because I realize how fickle people are. My own strength is the best I can have.

There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.

Medicine comes with hope: the hope of having a healthy child, the hope of being able to raise your family.

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.

I wouldn't have known when I was a teenager that when I was coming up to being a sixty-year-old woman that I'd be making music, I'd be recording music, talking about music, and incorporating my views on the world into the music-making. So it's a very rarefied place to be, and I'm very grateful for that.

The momentum of time is always going forward. You cannot repeat what has been done before. You can't go back.

You become really ugly when you become very superficial and self-obsessed.

When things are starting to work, you get up at five in the morning thinking, what are we going to do today? You stay up until one in the morning getting it done, and then you start the next day with the same energy, because it's working!

In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.
