"I had to call Amy before she heard about it from someone else. She asked me, 'Daddy, why does he want to divorce me?' I said, 'You know I don't like him, but I have to admit that your behavior with another man is not what marriage is all about (referring to Blake Fielder-Civil's intent to divorce Amy)."—Mitchell WinehousePeople: Amy Winehouse Was at Death's Door, Says Dad (January 20, 2009)
"Mitch isn't well. He has been taking a lot on and has been dedicating himself to trying to improve Amy's health. But his own health has suffered as a result. He has been having stress-related panic attacks and collapsed at home last week. The doctor did some tests and told him he needed to take time out or he was seriously risking his own well-being. Amy is devastated and told him to get away and relax. She told him not to worry about her, but that is easier said than done."—Mitchell Winehouse's friendThe Sun: Wino has keeled over with stress (July 14, 2008)
