I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you.
I'm always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it's really nasty there but it's not.
I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.
I had a real stage school voice and I could do loud things, but it's not about being loud, it's about sensitivity and subtlety in music. You can do so much more with a quiet voice than with a belter.
I want at least five kids. I want twins.
Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me.
I made an album I'm very proud of, and that's about it.

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.
