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

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.

The more people see of me, the more they’ll realize that all I’m good for is making tunes.

I don’t need help because if I can’t help myself I can’t be helped.

People say my content’s mature, I don’t think it’s mature at all. I’m just a normal 20 year old. I’m opinionated.

My biggest role model? Def my Mom and my sisters!

I have four elder sisters, and being the youngest, I was pampered.

I grew up in a flat with my brothers and my cousins. My brothers were in the same bed.

If you don’t have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it’s no good.

Family is the most important thing in the world.

I leave my circle tight and keep my family close.

I was never motivated by money. I think above all else about the happiness of my family, regardless of money.

When the man who feeds the world by toiling in the fields is himself deprived of the basic rights of feeding, sheltering, and caring for his own family, the whole community of man is sick.
