Amy Winehouse

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. ”

Women don't try to use me. ”

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better. ”

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write. ”

To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better. ”

I want at least five kids. I want twins. ”

I'm such a kid at heart. ”

I can play a lot of different instruments adequately but nothing really well. ”

I'm not very ambitious at all. ”

I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable. ”
