I chose a career in obstetrics and gynecology because there's something about honoring women, honoring the birth process. We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
Annie Lennox
Image
There was a time when I looked to other people for recognition, because I didn't have enough confidence to trust my own judgment. Now I'm not looking for reassurance, because I realize how fickle people are. My own strength is the best I can have.

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.

You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding.
Annie Lennox

The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition. You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding. We create these communities from women who share common conditions, and those mothers carry each other through.

I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.

I watch 'Mad Men,' I knit scarves, I cook and am very, very normal. Honestly.

I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.
Annie Lennox

I get very frustrated when I hear women saying, Oh, feminism is passé, because I think feminism means empowerment. Men can be feminists, too! Many men are feminists. We need feminism. It's not against men it's about the empowerment of women. It's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.

I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Annie Lennox

I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox

There's good stuff and bad stuff, but you continue on. I'm not prescriptive - I cannot tell anyone else what to do with their lives, and I'm a deeply flawed individual - but this is it. We're all just living it and... bless us all.

I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.

I'm not a Christian, but I think the Christian message is a good one.

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.

Anita Roddick was amazing. Her presence in a room was full of light, and everything she worked to achieve still resonates now.

I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.

Fear paralyses you - fear of flying, fear of the future, fear of leaving a rubbish marriage, fear of public speaking, or whatever it is.

I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.

I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
