I'm not the fastest writer. I can't just crank out ideas that are good enough.

I cry alot-I dont know why, but it just helps me. I cry over bad and good stuff-sometimes sadness can be beautiful

My biggest dream from the beginning - besides Evanescence - is scoring film and writing music for film.

The way that I've always gone about making music, the rule of thumb, has just been to make what I love.

I don't want to be Christina Aguilera. I want to be Amy Lee, rock queen - not sex queen.

I wanted to be a veterinarian until I saw a video of a vet performing surgery on a dog. Then I decided I wanted to be a pianist.

I try to be feminist in, like, I love myself and I don't need someone else's approval.
