Through it all, she’s an attentive and open hostess, making tea and giving me extra pieces of paper to take notes. Now, thinking about the waiting paparazzi outside, she keeps her eyes fastened on her image in the mirror. 'I could just go out there and say… I don’t know.' Her mouth is slack. 'I don’t know, really.' Winehouse gives her hive one last tease and trots gamely down the stairway. She opens the door and on cue a firestorm of flashbulbs surrounds her, voices crying her name: 'Amy! Amy! Amy!'" [Daily Mail]
Amy's mom says: "There are a lot of people rooting for her. But I know I could turn on the TV and learn the worst." [Mirror]
