Amy's dad Mitch Winehouse has been giving interviews this weekend, as he so often does. He told The Mirror that Blake Fielder-Civil is looking to get Amy Winehouse out of London once he's completed his 27 month sentence for being a thug and attempting to cover it up. Mitch said: "Blake totally gets it. He said to me, 'We can't carry on living in London. We need to move out to the country'. If they do they could have the most fantastic life together, with the full blessing of my family. Whatever happens, we won't be where we are now in two years time".
Meanwhile, he told The Sunday Times that Blake is to blame for his daughter's self harm. Sort of. He said: "[Blake] explained to me that when they're going into [drug] withdrawal, if they cut themselves, it takes away the pain".
He also said that all the pain and sadness in Amy's life is providing inspiration for new songs. He said: "She only writes songs from her personal experiences, and they're all more or less painful. It's a shame. But that's the way she is. Amy can be creative when most other people would be checking into a hospice. When she can hardly stand up she's got her books in front of her, scribbling away".
Meanwhile, Amy's manager, Raye Cosbert told The Sunday Times that Amy can't cope with her fame. He said: "Amy is a public person. She's not like your usual reclusive star. She likes ordinary people. She likes playing pool with the bin men in her local. If she could take the tube everywhere she would. She feels deeply uncomfortable in the world of VIP celebrity".
