The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
From Annie Lennox
I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.
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.
I'm a female but I have a masculine side and I'm not going to negate that part of myself.
As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
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.
Men need to understand, and women too, what feminism is really about.
The dynamic between two individuals starts off with everything warm and nice and fabulous and good. Working and living together can serve you quite well, but when it starts to go wrong - oh, boy!
I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?
Life is not quantifiable in terms of age, but I suppose in my fifties I am more grounded and more at ease in my own skin than when I was younger. I have a confidence that I didn't have before from the experiences I've had.
