Amy Winehouse
I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.Collection: Home
I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you.Collection: Anger
I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.Collection: Love
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 love what I do, but it's not where it begins and ends.Collection: Mom
My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they're going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.Collection: Age
There's no point in saying anything but the truth.Collection: Truth
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.
Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.
I like pin-up girls. I'm more of a boy than a girl. I'm not a lesbian, though - not before a sambuca anyway.
I would say that jazz is my own language.
If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.
I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, but I don't like girls pretending to be stupid because it's easier.
Yes, I'm still going to misbehave!
I'm such a kid at heart.
I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable.
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.
Some men do think I'm a psycho bunny-boiler.
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.
I don't think I'm such an amazing person who needs to be written about.
I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.
I can express myself.
If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Yeah, I'm an open book.
I'm ugly.
Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.
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.
I'm always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it's really nasty there but it's not.
Now I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need.
Cause I'm a musician, I'm not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.
Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me.
I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you.
I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
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 would love to study guitar or trumpet.
When I'm nervous, I stutter, and I had to keep stopping and starting.
If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.
I just like tattoos.
I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
I've had everything pierced at some point.
I love America, it's a much more permissive place.
Women don't try to use me.
I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.
I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.
I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.
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.
I love food.
Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.
I've got a crush on my backing singer.
I'm much healthier now.
