Here's a nice read about Amy's travels (interview from "The Observer", 25th Feb 2007): link.

My top travel tip is ...
Take a pillow from home.


If I had next week off I'd go to ...
Miami. I'm quite a touristy girl and I'd probably go on to Disney World which I absolutely love. I'm such a kid at heart.



And I really love this one about life in general in Q&A ("The Guardian", 13.01.2007): link.

Some of them are as follows...


What is your greatest fear?
Dying old or never meeting Tony Bennett; if I never get to meet him, I might as well be dead.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
Having sex dreams about members of my crew.

Aside from a property, what's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
My heart back from someone who may or may not have deserved it. I paid a lot.

What is your favourite smell?
Petrol and hairspray.

What is your favourite book?
Catch-22 or Pigtopia or Beyond Black.

Is it better to give or to receive?
Give - I can't receive.

What does love feel like?
A disease that consumes you eternally.

How would you like to be remembered?
As genuine.

What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
That you learn things every day and life is short.

Give - I can't receive.
I knew that already because she is just such a giving person.

How would you like to be remembered?
As genuine.
And that is how she is remembered by many.

First Amy interview/article I ever read - the day I 'discovered' her I saw a few videos, was blown away, then googled to find out who she was, and when I read how she was "deluged by weird, elderly autograph hunters" (Frank era) I knew I wasn't alone.

I absolutely love the interview. I'd never read it before and for a minute it was like having her here again, genuinely happy . Gosh, I can imagine her speaking of that right now. I didn't know she used to go to Spain on holidays (Marbella is the first place I visited when I was a kid like her).
I can't believe we won't see another interview. I miss & love her so much.
I’m a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity

I thought she got that 'fuck you' atittude later one, after the back to black and blake etc,. But that's obviously not the case. I love it how she isn't afraid to say what she thinks, like: 'It's frustrating, because you work with so many idiots - but they're nice idiots. So you can't be like, "You're an idiot." They know that they're idiots.'

The second one is one of her best I think! Thank you so much!

Which living person do you most admire?
No one. You're all bastards. Maybe Mark Lamarr for that precise fact.


:D

She was incredibly witty and clever... never stuck for words in these early interviews.

Let's be thankful for all we have rather than sad for what we have lost.

It is hard thinking that there are no more interviews / pictures, however her look and wit (and of course her music) are timeless and I am sure we will re-discover time and time again.

I try to be positive but feel teary today :'-(
Thank you for these - made me feel better :-)
I love you in a place where there's no space or time...Forever you will be a true friend of mine:)
