Amy Winehouse
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 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.
My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same.
I'm not very ambitious at all.
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.
I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.
I'm lucky because I do get to fly first-class now.
I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.

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.Collection: Mean
