Annie Lennox

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

"Historically, the image of women in pop music has been so totally ornamental - sexual, but predictably so. Its hard to tell how far womens individuality has come in the past twenty years. Certainly, if you look at the pop charts as a measuring stick, youd think it hasnt come far at all. But women do feel less like victims now than they did twenty years ago. At heart Im a feminist, but Im also a feminist for men. Men should be liberated from the roles that are foisted on them also."

"I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind But I can still read what youre thinking. And Ive heard it said too many times That youd be better off Besides, why cant you see this boat is sinking?"
