I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.

More quotes by Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.
Annie Lennox
Success breeds the excitement to continue going.
Annie Lennox
There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
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 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
I'm not a risk taker physically. I just have no interest in swinging myself off a mountaintop or parachute gliding or skiing down a totally vertical drop. These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.
Annie Lennox
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Annie Lennox
My first understanding of HIV and AIDS was like everybody else from my generation. In the mid-'80s, we heard about this, and it was terrifying, because we knew nothing about how to respond to it appropriately, and we didn't really understand about how the virus is passed. There was a lot of misconception about that.
Annie Lennox
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.
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
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Annie Lennox
If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. '
Annie Lennox
It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
Annie Lennox
Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community.
Annie Lennox
A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
Annie Lennox
I think it takes a lot to put oneself in a place where, you know, that thing about Feel the fear and do it anyway. You wonder what the driving force is that makes you want to do that and not just stay in a safer place.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
I'm not particularly attention-seeking.
Annie Lennox
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.
