I love to make music and stay grounded.

I would like to see the gay population get on board with feminism. It's a beautiful organisation and they've done so much. It seems to me a no-brainer.

I have always been a very visual person and a keen observer.

You wouldn't find a Joni Mitchell on 'X Factor' that's not the place. 'X Factor' is a specific thing for people that want to go through that process - it's a factory, you know, and it's owned and stitched-up by puppet masters.

I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.

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.

Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.

The poetic side of me is Scottish.

I think that the thing is, all those years of creating music or trying to express something of a dark shadow, an existential angst that I have felt most of my life and still feel today, to not be overwhelmed by it. Music, in a way, is a great vehicle, a means by which one can express all these somewhat contradictory feelings.

The momentum of time is always going forward. You cannot repeat what has been done before. You can't go back.
Annie Lennox
Image
I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.
Annie Lennox
Image
Motherhood was the great equaliser for me I started to identify with everybody.
Annie Lennox
Image
There's always darkness around, and if you focus on the darkness, you don't know where to go. But if you direct yourself at the light - there it is! It's right there.

In the States, the HIV transmission from mother to child is almost completely preventable - the only mothers who really do transmit it are the ones who don't come in for care. If a mother in the United States or in Europe or in the UK comes to care and gets her medicines, she will have an HIV negative baby. Most people don't know that.

People ask me so many questions.
Annie Lennox
Image
I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.
Annie Lennox
Image
As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
Annie Lennox
Image
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

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.

To be human is to have a whole spectrum of these experiences that arise within us.
