More quotes by Amy Winehouse
My dad always had music playing around us and he was always a happy chirpy man with a beautiful voice. I was always singing around the house and I assumed that's what all families did. It wasn't until I went through that nasty teenage stage that I started to realise that wasn't the case.
Amy Winehouse
Cause I'm a musician, I'm not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.
Amy Winehouse
I'm happiest with my family around me.
Amy Winehouse
I can't be arsed with game players. I'm more 'I like you, do you like me? Let's go and do something about it.' I'm a very straightforward person like that.
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
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 love America, it's a much more permissive place.
Amy Winehouse
Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.
Amy Winehouse
I wanted to be Snoopy's girlfriend and when I got older I wanted to be Bart Simpson's girlfriend. Then I couldn't decide whether I wanted marry Snoopy or Michael Jackson - because he was God to me - or to just be them.
Amy Winehouse
I dont ever want to do anything mediocre. I hear the music in the charts and I dont mean to be rude, but those people have no soul. Learning from music is like eating a meal - you have to pace yourself. You cant take everything from it all at once. I want to be different, definitely. Im not a one trick pony. Im at least a five-trick pony.
Amy Winehouse
I don't think I'm such an amazing person who needs to be written about.
Amy Winehouse
A little bit of anorexia, a little bit of bulimia. I'm not totally OK now but I don't think any woman is.
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
Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense I just don't know you But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye I think I love you
Amy Winehouse
Life is so much more rewarding if you strive for something, rather than take what's given to you on a plate.
Amy Winehouse
I was expecting it to be cynical because I'm like that myself. I wouldn't want it to be all roses because life isn't like that.
Amy Winehouse
I don’t need help because if I can’t help myself I can’t be helped.
Amy Winehouse
Yes, I'm still going to misbehave!
Amy Winehouse
No. No. I don't listen to anyone except my ... inner child anyway. If someone had said to me, Amy, lose a stone which they wouldn't - I don't think I would have listened anyway.
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
