Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Having children, they're not your property. They need to figure out their own views. I think my daughters have a pretty healthy self-awareness, but I can't speak on their behalf.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
My issue with the state of women became incredibly stimulated when I was visiting developing countries and it became obvious that women bore the brunt of so many things in society.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Women's issues have always been a part of my life. My goal is to bring the word 'feminism' back into the zeitgeist and reframe it.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I've never been a social person. When I grew up, the other girls would all be combing their hair and exchanging lipstick, and I just couldn't do that group thing.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
The dynamic between two individuals starts off with everything warm and nice and fabulous and good. Working and living together can serve you quite well, but when it starts to go wrong - oh, boy!
Quote by -Annie Lennox
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 know that because I don't come from a wealthy background.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Our ancestors are totally essential to our every waking moment, although most of us don't even have the faintest idea about their lives, their trials, their hardships or challenges.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
You just decide what your values are in life and what you are going to do, and then you feel like you count, and that makes life worth living. It makes my life meaningful.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Actually, I'm quite a domesticated person. I love the little things of home.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Please don't ask me for the actual answer to anything, because I don't have it. Because all I do is look at stuff and ask questions. What can I say? I just think the world's barking mad. Look, I'm not an expert. I'm just an ordinary person.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. '
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I've thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn't one. It's a perfectly good word. And it can't be changed.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I'm appalled the word feminism has been denigrated to a place of almost ridicule and I very passionately believe the word needs to be revalued and reintroduced with power and understanding that this is a global picture.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I will go out of my way to avoid the shopping crowds and the extreme consumerism - I hate all that.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Making a Christmas album is looked upon by some people as the thing you do when you are heading towards retirement.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community.
