I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.
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
Image
I've never been an idiot - I was a smart girl but I'd do stupid things like go around Asda and nick stuff because my friends told me to. I was a good girl as a teenager.
Amy Winehouse
Image
My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they're going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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.

The dark covers me and I cannot run now.

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.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.
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.
Amy Winehouse

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.
Amy Winehouse
Image
I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.
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'm my own worst critic, and if I don't pull off what I think I wanted to do in my head, then I won't be a happy girl.
Amy Winehouse
Image
The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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
Image
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.
