"If it wasn't for Amy and Frank, one hundred per cent I wouldn't have picked up a guitar, I wouldn't have written "Daydreamer" or "Hometown" and I wrote "Someone Like You" on the guitar too. Contrary to reports, me and Amy didn't really know each other, we weren't friends or anything like that. I went to Brit School and she went for a little while. But a million per cent if I hadn't heard Frank this wouldn't have happened. I adored her."

“The last real individualist.”

“It's not important to me to make other people at ease. I am difficult, but that's 'cause I don’t really give a fuck.”

“Amy Winehouse: Did she invent white soul? Wearing a beehive? No. But she did something brand new and fresh, altogether as a package, and you see who's in her wake, from the Duffys to the Lana Del Reys. Adele selling 20 million records? That would not have happened if Amy Winehouse was alive.”

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

“I'm a songwriter but she has her songs written for her... She must think it's her fucking lucky day... It's not like she's singing old songs like Jamie , she's singing shit new songs that her manager writes for her.”
