Amy Winehouse

I love America, it's a much more permissive place. ”

I 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. I love what I do, but it's not where it begins and ends. ”

I would love to study guitar or trumpet. ”

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

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. ”
