“In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of b...” — Annie Lennox Quote

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'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've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.

When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty - they were coming from a universal and personal place.

Humour and high seriousness... Perfect bedfellows, I think. Though I usually phrase it in terms of comedy and darkness. Comedy without darkness rapidly becomes trivial. And darkness without comedy rapidly becomes unbearable.

There's a huge cloud of shame around art and business being seen as bedfellows.

As we've learned in 1941, national emergencies can create strange bedfellows.

Economic libertarians and Christian evangelicals, united by their common enemy, are strange bedfellows in today's Republican party, just as the two Georges - the archconservative Wallace and the uberliberal McGovern - found themselves in the same Democratic Party in 1972.
