More quotes by Annie Lennox
Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion - very powerful emotions. That's what draws millions of people towards it. And, um, I found myself always going for these darker places and - people identify with that.
Annie Lennox
I'm not particularly attention-seeking.
Annie Lennox
I live in a world of possibility and opportunity. You look for the light. There's darkness everywhere but you look for that spot of light and you work your way towards it, and you do what it takes to get there.
Annie Lennox
There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
Annie Lennox
I want to be true to who I am.
Annie Lennox
I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox
We think that this is just our world and we don't know what other people are thinking. Music actually is a phenomenal connector in that respect. It's a special language that defines certain boundaries and connects people in a particular way, a very emotional way, I have found.
Annie Lennox
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Annie Lennox
To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming.
Annie Lennox
The music industry has always been a beast, which would eat you up and spit you out.
Annie Lennox
The momentum of time is always going forward. You cannot repeat what has been done before. You can't go back.
Annie Lennox
I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.
Annie Lennox
You wouldn't find a Joni Mitchell on 'X Factor' that's not the place. 'X Factor' is a specific thing for people that want to go through that process - it's a factory, you know, and it's owned and stitched-up by puppet masters.
Annie Lennox
I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.
Annie Lennox
In memory, you can access something from the past, anything that you've experienced that you remember - it's there. Now, you might have a memento of it in a photograph or in a film or a building or some clothes that you wore. There might be something that connects you to this memory. But all of us are just all caught in this time, whatever that is.
Annie Lennox
Fundamentally, we are all in the same place: we're born, we live, and we're going to die. In between, we'll have joy and we'll have sadness.
Annie Lennox
I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?
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
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
One realizes after a long time that, actually, we are contradictory, all of us.
Annie Lennox
