Annie Lennox EPA/ARMANDO ARORIZOThe former Eurythmics star says having an edge allows her creativity to shine through, but she doesn't always feel comfortable with the trait.She told the Radio Times magazine: "The world has never been a light place for me. I don't think it ever will be. I know people who are naturally sunny - they take things so smoothly and easily and they don't have a dark side. It's not immensely self-destructive, and my creativity is fed by it, but it's always there. I don't want to be dark."Lennox also revealed Joni Mitchell inspired her to become a singer-songwriter.She added: "I was really stuck as I didn't know what to do, but then I heard Joni Mitchell - her early albums - and because I liked to write poetry, I started to think that maybe I could write songs, maybe I could put poetry to music. It was all very intuitive - nobody discovered me or told me I could do this or should do that - and eventually I realised, 'I want to be a singer-songwriter.' "(C) BANG Media International
