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.
AMY WINEHOUSENow 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.
AMY WINEHOUSEI was expecting it to be cynical because I’m like that myself. I wouldn’t want it to be all roses because life isn’t like that.
AMY WINEHOUSEThe dark covers me and I cannot run now.
AMY WINEHOUSEI 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.
AMY WINEHOUSEI’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.
AMY WINEHOUSEThe jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.
AMY WINEHOUSEI do see myself settling down, getting married and having kids. But when I think about a family life in the future there’s rarely a man involved which is kind of weird.
AMY WINEHOUSEYou’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.
AMY WINEHOUSEI’m not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I’m not saying, ‘I’m sooo not famous,’ I’m trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.
AMY WINEHOUSEI always try to write a song to work things out with myself and I want to do it with a little punchline at the end, because I never want to remember anything bad in my life.
AMY WINEHOUSELife is so much more rewarding if you strive for something, rather than take what’s given to you on a plate.
AMY WINEHOUSEI always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn’t that spectacular.
AMY WINEHOUSEIf I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.
AMY WINEHOUSEI don’t understand, Why do I stress the man, When there’s so many bigger things at hand?
AMY WINEHOUSELife happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can’t control or change.
AMY WINEHOUSEI’ve always written poetry but I didn’t realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That’s when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.
