I don't think I knew what depression was. I knew I felt funny sometimes and I was different. I think it's a musician thing. That's why I write music. You know, I'm not like some messed up person.

I'm not really a girl. I'm not even a boy's girl. I'm a man's man - and that doesn't mean I'm a big dyke. Men are far more straightforward. They don't dwell on things and play psychological games. I'm not saying all women are like that, or that some men don't play those games, but on the whole, men are more easy-going and don't piss time up the wall. Life is short. Anything could happen and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts. — Amy Winehouse
I realize that I have a chance to bring certain things to certain people's attention. I've had a flirtation with every eating disorder there is. I wouldn't tie myself down to one. Usually I would be like, "Fuck off I'm a musician, why do you wanna talk about that?" but I've realized that there are a lot of girls who are in exactly the same boat as me. People don't know how hard it is, and how common it is, and how dangerous it can be. A lot of girls are ashamed, like I was ashamed. I used to make myself sick and be ashamed. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a compulsion, if you can control it great, if you can't then you are in the grip of something bigger than you. It's not a physical thing; it's very much a psychological thing. I'm glad I can talk about it. — Amy Winehouse
