I'm planning my most ambitious tattoo yet. You can never have enough tats.
I want at least five kids. I want twins.
Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me.
I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you.
I made an album I'm very proud of, and that's about it.
My parents pretty much realized that I would do whatever I wanted, and that was it, really.
A song marks an occasion in my life and that's how I live my life, by songs.
I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.
Christina Aguilera has her own style, so good on her. I don't think anyone's every told her to put on some leather chaps and get her noonie out. She's an amazing singer but a lot of her music I can't even hear.
I wouldn't be with a man who was scared of me, but I don't think men are scared of me - look at me, I'm tiny. I don't think I'm capable of putting anyone off. I'm a nice girl.
I'm not Amy the star, I'm Amy the girl with the guitar.
I do see myself settling down, getting married and having kids. But when I think about a family life in the future there's rarely a man involved which is kind of weird.
I always try to write a song to work things out with myself and I want to do it with a little punchline at the end, because I never want to remember anything bad in my life.
It's important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.
