I’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 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 WINEHOUSEI read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.
AMY WINEHOUSEHaving listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.
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 WINEHOUSEI never went round to loads of managers saying ‘this is what I have, this is my product and I’m going to be famous so you’d better sign me up.’ They came to me.
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 WINEHOUSEWhen 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.
AMY WINEHOUSEI do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn’t that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
AMY WINEHOUSEI wouldn’t be with a man who was scared of me, but I don’t think men are scared of me – look at me, I’m tiny. I don’t think I’m capable of putting anyone off. I’m a nice girl.
AMY WINEHOUSEIt’s important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.
AMY WINEHOUSEI know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family.
AMY WINEHOUSEI don’t ever wanna drink again, I just, ooh I just need a friend.
AMY WINEHOUSEI told you I was trouble, you know that I’m no good.
AMY WINEHOUSEI can’t be arsed with game players. I’m more ‘I like you, do you like me? Let’s go and do something about it.’ I’m a very straightforward person like that.
AMY WINEHOUSEI love America, it’s a much more permissive place.
AMY WINEHOUSEI wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier.
