Amy Winehouse

“I'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.”

“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 fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.”

“If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.”

“I'm not very ambitious at all.”

“Some men do think I'm a psycho bunny-boiler.”

“I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you.”

“Yeah, I'm an open book.”

“There's no point in saying anything but the truth.”

“I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, but I don't like girls pretending to be stupid because it's easier.”

“You know how you either grow up in a Michael Jackson house or a Prince house? For me it was Michael Jackson. I could never decide whether I wanted to be Michael Jackson or marry him.”

“Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.”

“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.”

“I'm my own worst critic, and if I don't pull off what I think I wanted to do in my head, then I won't be a happy girl.”

“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.”

“I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.”

“Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.”

“Having 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.”

“I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you.”

“I'm much healthier now.”
