I'm planning my most ambitious tattoo yet. You can never have enough tats.

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.

I only write about stuff that’s happened to me.. stuff I can’t get past personally. Luckily, I'm quite self-destructive.
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.

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.

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
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.
Amy Winehouse
Image
I always try to write a song to work things out with myself and I want to do it with a little punchline at the end, because I never want to remember anything bad in my life.
Amy Winehouse

I would love to study guitar or trumpet.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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
Image
I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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.

Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can't control or change.
