“Cause I’m a musician, I’m not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.”

Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can’t control or change.

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.

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.

I love America, it’s a much more permissive place.

We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred time, you go back to her and I go back to black.

I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.

When you’re around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don’t have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.

Life is so much more rewarding if you strive for something, rather than take what’s given to you on a plate.

And as a writer, your self-worth is literally based on the last thing you wrote.

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.

I’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.

I don’t ever wanna drink again, I just, ooh I just need a friend.

I’m not very ambitious at all.

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.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it’s with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

Humanity, take a good look at yourself. Inside, you’ve got heaven and earth, and all of creation. You’re a world – everything is hidden in you.

I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, ’cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.

I do small things. I try to do good things every day. If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.

Ultimately, investors are – are only as good as their track records.

To have a successful team, you have to have great players of course – but you have to have good personalities and good people as well.

It is courage that vanquishes in war, and not good weapons.

It is not the things you have that make you happy. It is love and kindness and helping each other and just plain being good.

You can only do good if you feel good.
