Quote

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.

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
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
Image
Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.
Amy Winehouse
Image
Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can't control or change.
Amy Winehouse
Image
Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.
Amy Winehouse
Image
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.

Relationship doesn’t remain, We resonate on different flames, I could cut you down again, If you were like all other men, If you were like all other men, I know that I could shut you down again

When I'm nervous, I stutter, and I had to keep stopping and starting.

There are certain songs I cannot hear because they are so personal that it hurts me to listen.

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 write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.
Amy Winehouse
Image
If you're nice to me I'll never write anything bad about you.

When I was a little kid it was my dream to go to drama school, but it was never something I thought would happen to me. I was a Jewish girl from North London and things like that don't happen to Jewish girls from North London called Amy Winehouse.

I know I'm talented, but I wasn't put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family.
Amy Winehouse
Image
I'm happiest with my family around me.
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
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 saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.
Amy Winehouse
Image
I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.
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.
