Amy Winehouse Writing Quotations

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

If you're nice to me I'll never write anything bad about you.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

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.

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.

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

I only write about stuff that’s happened to me.. stuff I can’t get past personally. Luckily, I'm quite self-destructive.

I'm a young woman and I'm going to write about what I know.
