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

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

I was expecting it to be cynical because I'm like that myself. I wouldn't want it to be all roses because life isn't like that.

I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

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.

I'd like to be remembered as someone who wasn't satisfied with just one level of musicianship ... as someone who was a pioneer.

Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.
