I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.

No. No. I don't listen to anyone except my ... inner child anyway. If someone had said to me, Amy, lose a stone which they wouldn't - I don't think I would have listened anyway.

A song marks an occasion in my life and that's how I live my life, by songs.

Life is so much more rewarding if you strive for something, rather than take what's given to you on a plate.

I'm much healthier now.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
