Amy Winehouse has blamed her insecurity about how she looks for causing her to drink excessively.

Speaking in a forthcoming DVD documentary, Winehouse says that she’s always had a problem with her appearance.

“I'm quite an insecure person. I'm very insecure about the way I look. I mean, I'm a musician I'm not a model. The more insecure I felt, the more I'd drink,” she says.

"And to Tracey Trash, who does my hair, I'd be like, 'Bigger! Bigger!' - like the more insecure I feel, the bigger my hair has to be."

As well as featuring an insightful interview with her father, Mitch, = ‘I Told You I Was Trouble’ – which will be releases later this year – also sees Winehouse talk philosophically about her overdose in August.

"I was just doing one destructive thing after the other,” she admits. “I was quite self-destructive.”

She adds, however, that she has no intention to change: "Life's short - just do it, do you know what I mean? Life's short and I've made a lot of mistakes, you know.

"I always say I don't regret things and I don't say sorry, but I do really. I believe strongly in fate. I believe that everything happens for a reason."

  • I understand her, and I like her very much. At least she not a complete no-talent like Britney Spears. She is quite possibly the best young singer we have today. All she needs is vitamin supplemets and a better diet, and that should even out the drinking and other stuff. I think she’s fine. Everyone is overreacting.

  • I agree with Damon. I am so glad I read these extracts. She is very very talented and rather than kicking her ass with ’sensation’ I believe we need to listen to what she has to say and maybe leave her alone once in awhile. We need talent like hers.
