As you get older, there will be a new challenge arising. What you thought you'd accomplished once, maybe the goal post has shifted and it's not what you're pursuing anymore, because you're not interested in that anymore, you know?

More quotes by Annie Lennox
You become really ugly when you become very superficial and self-obsessed.
Annie Lennox
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.
Annie Lennox
I have different hats I'm a mother, I'm a woman, I'm a human being, I'm an artist and hopefully I'm an advocate. All of those plates are things I spin all the time.
Annie Lennox
Music is a great vehicle for communications, and I have a certain platform. I have an opportunity and I have to take it.
Annie Lennox
I want to be true to who I am.
Annie Lennox
Let me be the only one to keep you from the cold Now the floor of hell is laid, the stars are bright as gold They light for you, they shine for you They burn for all to see Come into these arms again and set your spirit free
Annie Lennox
When you go to Africa, and you see children, they're usually barefoot, dirty and in rags, and they'd love to go to school.
Annie Lennox
One realizes after a long time that, actually, we are contradictory, all of us.
Annie Lennox
More than anything, I think everything about appearance is illusory. People see you, and they think they understand what you're projecting, but actually, they have their own interpretation of it, or they put a label on you.
Annie Lennox
Men need to understand, and women too, what feminism is really about.
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
I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.
Annie Lennox
I wouldn't have known when I was a teenager that when I was coming up to being a sixty-year-old woman that I'd be making music, I'd be recording music, talking about music, and incorporating my views on the world into the music-making. So it's a very rarefied place to be, and I'm very grateful for that.
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
Life is not quantifiable in terms of age, but I suppose in my fifties I am more grounded and more at ease in my own skin than when I was younger. I have a confidence that I didn't have before from the experiences I've had.
Annie Lennox
I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.
Annie Lennox
I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox
I am fascinated by history and particularly the Victorian era.
Annie Lennox
Something that's of common interest to every man, woman and child on the planet must surely be the notion of 'Peace'. Without 'Peace' we cannot survive. Valentine's Day is on the 14 February. Christmas Day is on the 25 December. Peace Day has been established by the United Nations on the 21 September, and the whole world is invited to participate.
Annie Lennox
I'm not intensely private - I talk a great deal about my life and my work - I just don't play the game to excess.
Annie Lennox
