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

I love my cats more than I love most people. Probably more than is healthy.

At the end of any really long tour you need to get your head in order.

So many nights I cried myself to sleep. Now that you love me, I love myself. I never thought I would say this. I never thought there'd be you.

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 write by myself initially. That's the way I've always written, just working on pure thought by myself. Then I bring it to the table with whoever I'm collaborating with.

I don't want to ever be a quote-unquote rock star. I want to just be me.
