I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Annie Lennox
Image
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.
Annie Lennox

Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.
Annie Lennox

Success breeds the excitement to continue going.
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.

Women empowering other women.They get the psycho-social support. They become part of a community.

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
Image
I enjoy multi-tasking, so I want to do a lot of different things. I want to keep all the plates spinning.

I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Annie Lennox
Image
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
If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it's not for me. I've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.

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.

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.

Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.
