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.

More quotes by Amy Winehouse
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.
Amy Winehouse
I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.
Amy Winehouse
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
Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.
Amy Winehouse
I'm a young woman and I'm going to write about what I know.

Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense I just don't know you But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye I think I love you

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.
Amy Winehouse
Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.
Amy Winehouse
It’s too much of a drinking culture, everything tastes better with a drink. Like, watch TV: glass of wine. Cooking dinner: glass of champagne. White wine vinegar hasn’t got white wine in it. Has it?
Amy Winehouse
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.
Amy Winehouse
Life is so much more rewarding if you strive for something, rather than take what's given to you on a plate.
Amy Winehouse
There are certain songs I cannot hear because they are so personal that it hurts me to listen.
Amy Winehouse
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 would say that jazz is my own language.
Amy Winehouse
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.
Amy Winehouse
I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.
Amy Winehouse
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.
Amy Winehouse
I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.
Amy Winehouse
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.
