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.

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.
