Annie Lennox Art Quotations

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

Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.

The world is a heartbreaking place, without any question.

I'd rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.

It's not fair to compare one artist to another because they all come with their own sort of elements to the picnic, you know.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.

I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

There must be an angel playing with my heart.

In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.

There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
