More quotes by Amy Winehouse
I couldn't resist him, his eyes were like yours, his hair was exactly the shade of brown. He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell, it was dark and I was lying down.
Amy Winehouse
I like pin-up girls. I'm more of a boy than a girl. I'm not a lesbian, though - not before a sambuca anyway.
Amy Winehouse
Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.
Amy Winehouse
When you're around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don't have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.
Amy Winehouse
I'm not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I'm not saying, 'I'm sooo not famous,' I'm trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.
Amy Winehouse
I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.
Amy Winehouse
If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.
Amy Winehouse
Music was my ultimate ambition but I liked all of it. I wanted to discipline myself in dance and acting too and I'd done all three since I was 9-years-old. I could sing, but I didn't become a great singer.
Amy Winehouse
I'm not very ambitious at all.
Amy Winehouse
I think that we have to be aware that people are allowed to make mistakes
Amy Winehouse
I've always written poetry but I didn't realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That's when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.
Amy Winehouse
I would say that jazz is my own language.
Amy Winehouse
People say my content's mature, I don't think it's mature at all. I'm just a normal 20 year old. I'm opinionated.
Amy Winehouse
I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
Amy Winehouse
I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason, but I don't think that there's a high power, necessarily. I believe in karma very much though.
Amy Winehouse
Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.
Amy Winehouse
I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.
Amy Winehouse
There's no point in saying anything but the truth.
Amy Winehouse
Some men do think I'm a psycho bunny-boiler.
Amy Winehouse
I've never been a boyfriend kind of girl.
