I would say that jazz is my own language.
I'm a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can't.
I think that we have to be aware that people are allowed to make mistakes
I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.
I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
I can play a lot of different instruments adequately but nothing really well.
People say my content's mature, I don't think it's mature at all. I'm just a normal 20 year old. I'm opinionated.
Basically, I live to do gigs.
When you're around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don't have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.
To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said 'No, no, no,'
I knew I could sing but I always thought everyone could sing, that everyone was born with a singing voice. Even when I was getting interest from singing, I just thought 'what about all these guys?' Yes, I can sing, I have a good voice but there's so many people that can and do.
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.
Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense I just don't know you But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye I think I love you
