I think that you can only be true to yourself. Nobody can live up to other people's expectations. You will always let them down. There will always be something they won't like about you.

More quotes by Annie Lennox
I've had my share of dark days of the soul. I try not to focus on it too much so it doesn't get to me.
Annie Lennox
I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox
The person who inspired me the most was a friend of mine, Anita Roddick. I know that Anita wasn't known to be an ardent feminist, but she truly was.
Annie Lennox
Making a Christmas album is looked upon by some people as the thing you do when you are heading towards retirement.
Annie Lennox
I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.
Annie Lennox
Life expectancy in many parts of Africa can be something around the age of thirty five to thirty eight. I mean you're very fortunate if you live to that age. In fact when I went to Uganda for the first time one of the things that occurred to me was that I saw very few elderly people.
Annie Lennox
I find beauty in a very independent state. It lives quietly. It's there to be discovered.
Annie Lennox
I used to be obsessed about how I presented myself. I didn't want other people dressing me because I didn't want to be treated like a clothes horse.
Annie Lennox
Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.
Annie Lennox
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.
Annie Lennox
Bulnerable without strength is vulnerable, and being vulnerable means you can be victimized.
Annie Lennox
In a way, it's all down to perception, isn't it? And everyone has their own take on everything.
Annie Lennox
The inner world is very potent for me - I don't ascribe to any God or Jesus or Buddha - I just have a sense of it and revere it along with the natural world and human consciousness.
Annie Lennox
I'm not really keen on comebacks. Eurythmics was an incredible thing. When I look back on that work, I feel very satisfied with it.
Annie Lennox
To try to help people have babies in a healthy way and to celebrate the process of delivering a child which will be healthy is, I think, almost the best part of healthcare.
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
We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
Annie Lennox
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
Green is a label for a certain attitude to life, a certain kind of respect that one might have for the very source of things that we take for granted.
Annie Lennox
The general population still thinks HIV is something that came in the 80s and went away, or that it only affects the gay population or intravenous drug users.
