I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.

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.

I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.

I was brought up in a tenement house in a working district. We didn't even have a bathroom! We had a gaslight in the hallway and a black-and-white TV.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
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.

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.

I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
The world is a heartbreaking place, without any question.

We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
If someone says something unpleasant, I can't say it doesn't smart a bit. It always does. Someone can take a really nasty swipe if they want because it kind of feels powerful for a person to write in a paper and get that thing out there.

It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I didn't want to be perceived as a girly girl on stage.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.

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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
If I hadn't been a singer, I might have been a photographer or an artist. But it's singing I love. I sing all the time, and I feel really good that I've expressed myself.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
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.
