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.

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

People think stage school is a little star factory but the truth is kids like me learned about being in a team situation and going out to work earlier than a lot of kids did. I don't know anyone from drama school who's now sitting on their arse doing nothing.

I'm lucky because I do get to fly first-class now.

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

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

Sisters come before carpet burns and blisters.
