Men need to understand, and women too, what feminism is really about.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I'm not a risk taker physically. I just have no interest in swinging myself off a mountaintop or parachute gliding or skiing down a totally vertical drop. These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.

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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I like people who are minimalist with their words. Jack Nicholson thinks a lot then says something, and it's always spot on. Nelson Mandela is the same.
David A. Stewart Eurythmics -
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I grew up in a middle class household with parents, went to good schools, and never feared for anything, never wanted for anything that was really important. For all of us living in this world, all of us who have the resources, for us to not dedicate ourselves to giving something back, is to leave the world a lesser place.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I didn't want to be a Barbie doll. I didn't want to be a passive entertainer. It wasn't how I wanted to present myself.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I like where I live here, in London.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
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. '

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.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I see myself as a traveller.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
The general population still thinks HIV is something that came in the 80s and went away, or that it only affects the gay population or intravenous drug users.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I don't have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.

-
I am fascinated by history and particularly the Victorian era.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free.
Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
I don't take myself as seriously as some people think, and I'd hate anyone to think I was preaching. That's the last thing I want.
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. I know that because I don't come from a wealthy background.
