More quotes by Amy Winehouse
If you don't throw yourself into something, you'll never know what you could have had.
Amy Winehouse
My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same.
Amy Winehouse
You know how you either grow up in a Michael Jackson house or a Prince house? For me it was Michael Jackson. I could never decide whether I wanted to be Michael Jackson or marry him.
Amy Winehouse
I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.
Amy Winehouse
I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.
Amy Winehouse
It’s too much of a drinking culture, everything tastes better with a drink. Like, watch TV: glass of wine. Cooking dinner: glass of champagne. White wine vinegar hasn’t got white wine in it. Has it?
Amy Winehouse
Sisters come before carpet burns and blisters.
Amy Winehouse
To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.
Amy Winehouse
Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.
Amy Winehouse
I never went round to loads of managers saying 'this is what I have, this is my product and I'm going to be famous so you'd better sign me up.' They came to me.
Amy Winehouse
I've always had my own style, I've always been different. I don't like to wear anything that anyone else is wearing because it's very important for me to make a statement.
Amy Winehouse
Basically, I live to do gigs.
Amy Winehouse
People think stage school is a little star factory but the truth is kids like me learned about being in a team situation and going out to work earlier than a lot of kids did. I don't know anyone from drama school who's now sitting on their arse doing nothing.
Amy Winehouse
I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.
Amy Winehouse
I can play a lot of different instruments adequately but nothing really well.
Amy Winehouse
I'm a young woman and I'm going to write about what I know.
Amy Winehouse
I knew I could sing but I always thought everyone could sing, that everyone was born with a singing voice. Even when I was getting interest from singing, I just thought 'what about all these guys?' Yes, I can sing, I have a good voice but there's so many people that can and do.
Amy Winehouse
And as a writer, your self-worth is literally based on the last thing you wrote.
Amy Winehouse
I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, but I don't like girls pretending to be stupid because it's easier.
Amy Winehouse
If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Amy Winehouse
