Annie Lennox

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.

I don't have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.

Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.

The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in.

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.

Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

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.

A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
