Annie Lennox
I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.
Annie Lennox
Poor countries are being forced to deal with an unprecedented health crisis without the means to tackle it . Governments can only show how seriously they are taking this crisis by taking immediate action to provide four million extra health workers and to grant those in need access to affordable medicines.
Annie Lennox
I guess what I'm passionate about is, I see so many things that I find that there's no real solution to, and you're only here for such a brief moment in time, even if you live to be a hundred years old. Yet, what happens within that time frame? So many things happen.
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.

Annie Lennox

Just having medicine isn't equivalent to medical care. You need the health systems, you need to create the social framework so that people feel safe.
Annie Lennox
I've never been a social person. When I grew up, the other girls would all be combing their hair and exchanging lipstick, and I just couldn't do that group thing.
Annie Lennox
The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition.
Annie Lennox
I find beauty in a very independent state. It lives quietly. It's there to be discovered.
Annie Lennox

Twerking is not feminism. Thats what I’m referring to. It’s not — it’s not liberating, it’s not empowering. It’s a sexual thing that you’re doing on a stage it doesn’t empower you. That’s my feeling about it.
Annie Lennox
My first understanding of HIV and AIDS was like everybody else from my generation. In the mid-'80s, we heard about this, and it was terrifying, because we knew nothing about how to respond to it appropriately, and we didn't really understand about how the virus is passed. There was a lot of misconception about that.
