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

If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.
Annie Lennox

The poetic side of me is Scottish.
Annie Lennox

I watch 'Mad Men,' I knit scarves, I cook and am very, very normal. Honestly.

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.

Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.
Annie Lennox

Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.
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
We are not consistent. We have both these dark sides and some light as well.
Annie Lennox

The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition. You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding. We create these communities from women who share common conditions, and those mothers carry each other through.

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.
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.

I think people in Great Britain are a bit jaded sometimes.
Annie Lennox
Image
I'm not a risk taker physically. I just have no interest in swinging myself off a mountaintop or parachute gliding or skiing down a totally vertical drop. These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.
Annie Lennox

Something that's of common interest to every man, woman and child on the planet must surely be the notion of 'Peace'. Without 'Peace' we cannot survive. Valentine's Day is on the 14 February. Christmas Day is on the 25 December. Peace Day has been established by the United Nations on the 21 September, and the whole world is invited to participate.

Life expectancy in many parts of Africa can be something around the age of thirty five to thirty eight. I mean you're very fortunate if you live to that age. In fact when I went to Uganda for the first time one of the things that occurred to me was that I saw very few elderly people.

Bulnerable without strength is vulnerable, and being vulnerable means you can be victimized.

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.
Annie Lennox
Image
I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.

When women get together as a group, it is immensely powerful.
