Amy Winehouse

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.

I'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.

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

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

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.

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.

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

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.

I only write about stuff that’s happened to me.. stuff I can’t get past personally. Luckily, I'm quite self-destructive.

I dont ever want to do anything mediocre. I hear the music in the charts and I dont mean to be rude, but those people have no soul. Learning from music is like eating a meal - you have to pace yourself. You cant take everything from it all at once. I want to be different, definitely. Im not a one trick pony. Im at least a five-trick pony.

Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods_x000D_ And now the final frame. Love is a losing game.
