[When asked: "Are you going to turn into a diva?"] “I’m probably already one, if that means that you don’t give a fuck about people’s opinions. I don’t suffer fools gladly. I’m not here to make friends. I’ve learnt that the hard way – I used to not say things like ‘I really want to hold a guitar in my video,’ because I was trying to make everyone like me. But I don’t give a fuck now. At the end of the day I’m there to do my job, I’m not there to have picnics. So, if that’s being a diva then yeah, I will be one. “
- Amy Winehouse
