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.

People think stage school is a little star factory but the truth is kids like me learned about being in a team situation and going out to work earlier than a lot of kids did. I don't know anyone from drama school who's now sitting on their arse doing nothing.

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.

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'm romantic. I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations. The other day, I saw a tramp polishing his shoes. That just gripped my heart.

My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same.

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.

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

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.

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

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

I'm not Amy the star, I'm Amy the girl with the guitar.

I had a real stage school voice and I could do loud things, but it's not about being loud, it's about sensitivity and subtlety in music. You can do so much more with a quiet voice than with a belter.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

I'm not very ambitious at all.
