More quotes by Annie Lennox
I'm a female but I have a masculine side and I'm not going to negate that part of myself.
Annie Lennox
I think that the thing is, all those years of creating music or trying to express something of a dark shadow, an existential angst that I have felt most of my life and still feel today, to not be overwhelmed by it. Music, in a way, is a great vehicle, a means by which one can express all these somewhat contradictory feelings.
Annie Lennox
This is the book I never read ~ These are the words I never said ~ This is the path I'll never tread ~ These are the dreams I'll dream instead
Annie Lennox
Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.
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
I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.
Annie Lennox
You wouldn't find a Joni Mitchell on 'X Factor' that's not the place. 'X Factor' is a specific thing for people that want to go through that process - it's a factory, you know, and it's owned and stitched-up by puppet masters.
Annie Lennox
I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-Saharan Africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with HIV are women.
Annie Lennox
I think the whole experience of being a human being on the planet is such a mystery, to be honest. Trying to figure out one's purpose and [asking] What is it all about?
Annie Lennox
Fundamentally, we are all in the same place: we're born, we live, and we're going to die. In between, we'll have joy and we'll have sadness.
Annie Lennox
As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
Annie Lennox
We are not consistent. We have both these dark sides and some light as well.
Annie Lennox
To be human is to have a whole spectrum of these experiences that arise within us.
Annie Lennox
You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'
Annie Lennox
The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition.
Annie Lennox
When you're that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can't really tell whether you have created the momentum or it's creating you.
Annie Lennox
I have a reputation for being cold and aloof, but I'm so not that woman. I'm passionate. I love my girls, being with my girlfriends, getting involved with issues that affect other women and children who are suffering.
Annie Lennox
The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in.
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
When you go to Africa, and you see children, they're usually barefoot, dirty and in rags, and they'd love to go to school.
Annie Lennox
