"She had a very striking face with big brown eyes that suck you in."
"Her drinking freaked me out. We spent up to 12 hours a day in the pub."
"She drinks way too much and misses out on meals. Her weight has plummeted so much it knocked me back a bit."
"Once, she kneed me in the balls. It got so bad we split three times. She always asked me back. She'd say, 'I love you, it'll never happen again.'"
"And as far as Blake was concerned she'd say they were over for good. The last time we were together she even promised she'd have the famous tattoo of his name on her left breast removed."
"It's like she cut out my heart, bit a chunk out of it, threw it on the floor and stomped on it."
"She's scared to be happy. I hope she finds happiness one day. She needs looking after but I'm glad that's not my responsibility anymore."

[on his decision to speak to a British tabloid newspaper about his relationship with Amy Winehouse] "It's like an albatross. I can't justify it at all. It definitely wasn't about any money because I didn't make any. I kind of wanted to get some revenge, honestly. I wasn't in a particularly good place … She was in an even worse place. It was a stupid thing to do."

"There were a lot of emotions there that obviously didn't end up at the time it was happening, but we got to a very good place. We stayed friends above all."

"We met in a bar in Camden in 2006. We were together for about a year. I reacted like everyone else, I was quite shocked."

"Her death is a terrible tragedy. When I found out about it, it took my breath away for a long time."
"We had a really nice time together. I loved it when we despite the bustle found time just for ourselves. Those were great moments. Sometimes we just sat together and enjoyed the tranquility. Then there were moments where she enchanted me with her voice and the guitar at home."

"She was an incredible person and musically wonderful. When I first heard her sing with just an acoustic guitar, I didn't touch my guitar for at least two months afterwards because I was so intimidated."
"We made music together all the time. We particularly tried singing polyphonically to songs by Toots and the Maytals which never worked well though. I can't recommend anyone to sing Toots and the Maytals polyphonically."

"It was a great time which I gladly remember. Amy was frequently away because of her music, but when we had time for ourselves, we often hung out and made music. Her death shocked me very much."

"She was a very special soul and a very talented musician."
"The first time I heard her play the guitar and sing, I couldn't pick up a guitar or sing for a month. I didn't see the point."

[on a rumor circulating that Amy Winehouse was worried his debut album would reveal secrets about their relationship] "I don't think she was worried. I really don't think so - that's not the sort of thing that would bother her. And the album isn't about her, so either way ..."

"I miss Amy Winehouse every day."
"I still think about her. We were very close at one point in time. It's very sad and I remember the day of her death very, very clearly. I don't think that I'll ever forget that day. We had drifted apart, but I had nevertheless observed her life very closely and I think she had observed my life as well. But yes, I'm still very sad."

"When she first played the guitar in my presence, I couldn't make music for weeks because she was simply so brilliant."
"The environment in which she moved was very destructive and unhealthy. I had to free myself from it. Unfortunately, she didn't manage to."
"It's very sad that Amy Winehouse is no longer among us, but I feel no connection to her anymore. That's a thing of the past."
