I 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 WINEHOUSESince I was 16, I’ve felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
AMY WINEHOUSEI don’t need help because if I can’t help myself I can’t be helped.
AMY WINEHOUSECause I’m a musician, I’m not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.
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 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.
AMY WINEHOUSEI don’t have emotional needs, only physical ones.
AMY WINEHOUSEI’ve never been an idiot – I was a smart girl but I’d do stupid things like go around Asda and nick stuff because my friends told me to. I was a good girl as a teenager.
AMY WINEHOUSEI just dress like… I’m an old black man. Sorry! Like I’m an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it’s still the ’50s.
AMY WINEHOUSEIt’s too much of a drinking culture, everything tastes better with a drink. Like, watch TV: glass of wine. Cooking dinner: glass of champagne. White wine vinegar hasn’t got white wine in it. Has it?
AMY WINEHOUSEI’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.
AMY WINEHOUSEI’m much healthier now.
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.
AMY WINEHOUSEMusic was my ultimate ambition but I liked all of it. I wanted to discipline myself in dance and acting too and I’d done all three since I was 9-years-old. I could sing, but I didn’t become a great singer.
AMY WINEHOUSEI’m not a natural born performer.
AMY WINEHOUSEI’m planning my most ambitious tattoo yet. You can never have enough tats.
