Amy Winehouse

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

I love food.

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.

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.

Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

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'm happiest with my family around me.

I'm not a natural born performer.

I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.

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

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

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.
