The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition.
Annie Lennox
Image
To be human is to have a whole spectrum of these experiences that arise within us.
Annie Lennox
Image
When you go to Africa, and you see children, they're usually barefoot, dirty and in rags, and they'd love to go to school.
Annie Lennox
Image
Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.
Annie Lennox
Image
Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
Annie Lennox
Image
To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming.
Annie Lennox

You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding.
Annie Lennox
Image
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.
Annie Lennox
Image
There was a time when I looked to other people for recognition, because I didn't have enough confidence to trust my own judgment. Now I'm not looking for reassurance, because I realize how fickle people are. My own strength is the best I can have.
Annie Lennox

We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
Annie Lennox
Image
I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.
Annie Lennox
Image
There's good stuff and bad stuff, but you continue on. I'm not prescriptive - I cannot tell anyone else what to do with their lives, and I'm a deeply flawed individual - but this is it. We're all just living it and... bless us all.
Annie Lennox
Image
It was very easy for me to dedicate myself to the care of mothers, help them have healthy babies, help them be healthy, help them in a place where they don't have opportunities. Success breeds the excitement to continue going. It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.
Annie Lennox
Image
Charity is a fine thing if it's meeting a gap where needs must be met and there are no other resources. But in the long term we need to support people into helping themselves.
Annie Lennox
Image
If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.
Annie Lennox
Image
I've had my share of dark days of the soul. I try not to focus on it too much so it doesn't get to me.
Annie Lennox
Image
I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Annie Lennox
Image
I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
Annie Lennox

The very fact that the planet is probably unsustainable with all that we've done to it and are doing to it, it's an appalling piece of evidence. It shows our complacency, our lack of passion or inclination to be authentic and really understand our true values. It's consistently depressing, but nevertheless, we carry on.

Fear paralyses you - fear of flying, fear of the future, fear of leaving a rubbish marriage, fear of public speaking, or whatever it is.
