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.

We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred time, you go back to her and I go back to black.

I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
Amy Winehouse

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Christina Aguilera has her own style, so good on her. I don't think anyone's every told her to put on some leather chaps and get her noonie out. She's an amazing singer but a lot of her music I can't even hear.

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.

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.

I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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.

Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
Amy Winehouse
Image
You've got a degree in philosophy so you think you're cleverer than me. But I'm not just some drama queen. Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been.

I'm not a natural born performer.

I told Missy [Elliot] I couldn't believe how much she has done as a woman in a male-led arena and that she's an inspiration to me. When I got into the lift back to my room to get changed and go home, I broke down in tears.

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.
