Quote

You have a bigger view, of something bigger than you, and you have to view that and take that in mind. At times you feel like despair rises up over hope, then other times you feel hopeful again.

The music scene in the '70s was like the United Kingdom in the '70s - we had a lot of unemployment, we had inflation, we had a lot of strikes going on, on a national scale, and a lot of discontent. That was reflected in the music.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

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.

Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
Annie Lennox

There is a big difference between what I do onstage and what I do in my private life. I don't put my living room on magazine pages.
Annie Lennox

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

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

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.

I have a lot to be grateful for.

Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.
Annie Lennox

There needs to be a shift in consciousness there needs to be an absolute wake-up call before society can actually make the kind of incredibly significant changes that need to happen.
Annie Lennox
Image
It's not fair to compare one artist to another because they all come with their own sort of elements to the picnic, you know.
Annie Lennox

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.

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 think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Annie Lennox
Image
I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free.

I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.
Annie Lennox
Image
Such is the scale and depth of poverty in many parts of the world that it won't be ended overnight. That is why if, like me, you want to see an end to poverty, you need to be in it for the long haul.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.
