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

Too bad you can't quote the look on my face.

I love the creative process. That's always been the closest thing to my heart, creating something.

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

Christina Aguilera's 'Stripped' had a lot of good songs. It's my range, so I use it to warm up a lot.

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

Evanescence fans aren't the popular kids in school. They aren't the cheerleaders. It's the art kids and the nerds and the kids who grow up to be the most interesting creative people.
