Quote

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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
Image
I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.
Amy Winehouse

My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same.
Amy Winehouse
Image
I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.
Amy Winehouse
Image
I wouldn't be with a man who was scared of me, but I don't think men are scared of me - look at me, I'm tiny. I don't think I'm capable of putting anyone off. I'm a nice girl.

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.

I love to live and I live to love.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.

I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.
Amy Winehouse

A song marks an occasion in my life and that's how I live my life, by songs.
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
Image
I would love to study guitar or trumpet.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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
Image
Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

I had a real stage school voice and I could do loud things, but it's not about being loud, it's about sensitivity and subtlety in music. You can do so much more with a quiet voice than with a belter.
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.

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.

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

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.
