Annie Lennox
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.
Annie Lennox

I think Scotland could take a stand in a wonderful way, ecologically and morally and ethically.
Annie Lennox

Image
I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.
