I've always been a very passionate, sometimes overly emotional person. Sometimes things affect me more than they should.

I am Evanescence. I am the only original member. I have basically hired the band. Evanescence has become me. It is mine and it's exactly how I want it to be.

I love tiny, plastic realistic food magnets. I don't know why. They're hilarious.

I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.

You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it.

A fan once asked if he could have a piece of my hair for voodoo. I said no, so he hugged me and plucked out a couple of hairs and ran off.

The only comfort within chaos is admitting you have no control.
