While I'm here, I may as well talk a bit about Amy Winehouse!

I don't know an awful lot about her (apart from the fact she was a great singer and died last year) but I did a little google-quest earlier and after reading about 5 million websites, I think she comes across as troubled, but she was real, strong, vulnerable and genuine. I like her. For any of you people who like her too, I've pinched a few quotes from the internet from her interviews etc. Enjoy.

"There is no point in saying anything but the truth. Because, at the end of the day, I don't have to answer to you, or my ex, or ... I shouldn't say God ... or a man in a suit from the record company. I have to answer to myself."

"My music. It's the only thing I have real dignity in in my life. That's the one area in my life where I can hold my head up and say, "No one can touch me." 'Cos no one can touch me!"
 
"I don't ever want to do anything mediocre. I hear the music in the charts and I don't mean to be rude, but those people have no soul. Learning from music is like eating a meal - you have to pace yourself. You can't take everything from it all at once. I want to be different, definitely. I'm not a one trick pony. I'm at least a five-trick pony."
 
"I'm not religious at all. I think faith is something that gives you strength. I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason but I don't think that there's a high power, necessarily. I believe in karma very much though."

"There are so many rude people around and they're the people that don't have any real friends. And relationships with people - with your mum, your nan, your dog - are what you get the most happiness in life from. Apart from shoes and bags. "
 
Her answer to the question "Are you going to turn into a diva?"---"I'm probably already one, if that means that you don't give a *** about people's opinions. I don't suffer fools gladly. I'm not here to make friends. I've learnt that the hard way - I used to not say things like "I really want to hold a guitar in my video", because I was trying to make everyone like me. But I don't give a *** now. At the end of the day I'm there to do my job, I'm not there to have picnics. So, if that's being a diva then yeah, I will be one."
 
"I don't listen to anyone except my ... inner child anyway."
 
"I say things in songs,I wouldn't even admit to myself,looking in the mirror"  

"Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things you can’t control or change."

"I'm not in this job to be a ****** role model."  

"I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway."  

"I write songs a lot when I can't get my head around a situation or I just can't get past it emotionally and then I write a song and I feel better because I've gotten something good out of something bad."  

" The minute I even start to think about what I'm doing I just lose it. I have to just shut my eyes and flow."

"If you don't throw yourself into something, you'll never know what you could have had."

Well, that's enough quotes for now, there was some other good ones but they were a bit head cracking for a Saturday afternoon.

Bye for now

Kerry :)
