I think my daughters have a pretty healthy self-awareness but I can't speak on their behalf.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I would like to see the gay population get on board with feminism. It's a beautiful organisation and they've done so much. It seems to me a no-brainer.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I'm a female but I have a masculine side and I'm not going to negate that part of myself.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free.
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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty - they were coming from a universal and personal place.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I want people to start thinking about what it means to be HIV-positive and to ask questions about that.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-Saharan Africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with HIV are women.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I don't have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Although I have lived in London, I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me, and it has been too.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
I think Scotland could take a stand in a wonderful way, ecologically and morally and ethically.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
When you're that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can't really tell whether you have created the momentum or it's creating you.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Annie Lennox
It's a very telling thing when you have children. You have to be there for them, you've got to set an example, when you're not sure what your example is, and anyway the world is changing so fast you don't know what is appropriate anymore.
