I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.

More quotes by Annie Lennox
What's really interesting is when you get a brand-new wave that has no connection to anything else. It always reflects society. The flappers would cut the dresses and make them looser, they smoked, their hair was short. It was a rebellion against the corset and the Edwardian era.
Annie Lennox
You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.
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
I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.
Annie Lennox
Humankind seems to have an enormous capacity for savagery, for brutality, for lack of empathy, for lack of compassion.
Annie Lennox
Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.
Annie Lennox
Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.
Annie Lennox
I love to make music and stay grounded.
Annie Lennox
I think people in Great Britain are a bit jaded sometimes.
Annie Lennox
Medicine comes with hope: the hope of having a healthy child, the hope of being able to raise your family.
Annie Lennox
I knew that I wanted to be a singer/songwriter when I was much younger and, um, I've been able to, you know, to realize that dream and I'm very pleased with that...I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry...Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion-very powerful emotions.
Annie Lennox
It was very easy for me to dedicate myself to the care of mothers, help them have healthy babies, help them be healthy, help them in a place where they don't have opportunities. Success breeds the excitement to continue going. It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
Annie Lennox
There's a lot of women's organisations, but they're all working separately. If you get people together, as a collaborative voice, it's strong.
Annie Lennox
To be human is to have a whole spectrum of these experiences that arise within us.
Annie Lennox
Just having medicine isn't equivalent to medical care. You need the health systems, you need to create the social framework so that people feel safe.
Annie Lennox
When things are starting to work, you get up at five in the morning thinking, what are we going to do today? You stay up until one in the morning getting it done, and then you start the next day with the same energy, because it's working!
Annie Lennox
We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.
Annie Lennox
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.
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
In a way, it's all down to perception, isn't it? And everyone has their own take on everything.
Annie Lennox
