More quotes by Annie Lennox
I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Annie Lennox
The person who inspired me the most was a friend of mine, Anita Roddick. I know that Anita wasn't known to be an ardent feminist, but she truly was.
Annie Lennox
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.
Annie Lennox
The music industry has always been a beast, which would eat you up and spit you out.
Annie Lennox
Such is the scale and depth of poverty in many parts of the world that it won't be ended overnight. That is why if, like me, you want to see an end to poverty, you need to be in it for the long haul.
Annie Lennox
I wanted to create something that was quite edgy and belonged to me. It wasn't about my sexual orientation, because I'm heterosexual. It was saying that appearance is just temporary, and I want to be as strong as a man.
Annie Lennox
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Annie Lennox
Imagine living in abject poverty and not knowing anything other than that for generations. Or alternatively, imagine being born into a really wealthy family, but there was no real love. Everyone's living these extraordinary, interesting lives whether they know it or not.
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 never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.
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
Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
Annie Lennox
Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.
Annie Lennox
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.
Annie Lennox
I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.
Annie Lennox
Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.
Annie Lennox
One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.
Annie Lennox
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
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
