When you're miserable, you don't want anyone around you to be happy.

If all we ever sang about was how happy we are, we would be lying to ourselves. People try to escape their problems by getting drunk, partying and dancing them away. What really heals me is to sit down and think, face the facts, then you can get over it and be happy

I love folk; that's a big part of my background.

We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again.

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

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.

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