When I was a little kid it was my dream to go to drama school, but it was never something I thought would happen to me. I was a Jewish girl from North London and things like that don't happen to Jewish girls from North London called Amy Winehouse.

The more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes.

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

Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.

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

It's important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.
