Maybe she’s crazy. Possibly?
Okay, so rock stars aren’t always known for stability and pristine mental health, especially rock stars whose biggest hit involves refusing to be admitted to a rehabilitation facility (no! no! no!). But check out this excerpt from a Spin magazine interview with Winehouse, as reprinted by US Magazine:
In the new issue of Spin, Winehouse, 23, is in rare form (which is not that rare for her), letting the naughty words fly, taking “long bathroom breaks� during the photo shoot, and later checking her nose in a shard of broken mirror.
Then, during the photo shoot, “she stands against the wall, flashes popping as she gently carves ‘I LOVE BLAKE’ onto her bare stomach with that shard of mirror,” in honor of husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
But she seems aware that she’s a bit nutso. Perhaps a little too aware?
On why she writes:
“I write songs because I’m f—ked in the head and need to get something good out of something bad…I thought, ‘F—k, I’m going to die if I don’t write down the way I feel. I’m going to f—king do myself in.’ It’s nothing spectacular.�
And one more interesting quote. If she really isn’t interested in attention, why does she do all this crazy stuff?
On being a celebrity:
“I don’t care. I don’t care about any of this, and I don’t have much of an opinion of myself. I don’t think people care about me, and I’m not in this to be a f—king role model…I don’t think I’m such an amazing person who needs to be written about. And if I did, I’d be a f—king c—t, wouldn’t I?�
Don’t get me wrong. I really like her album, Back to Black. I think it’s great. But I have to admit, I am a little scared of Amy Winehouse herself, if for no other reason than she can out-curse me by a long shot. Damn!
