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

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my number one biggest influence artistically in every way.

When you go through tragedy, you can either let that destroy you and you become bitter and never let it go, or you can let it make you stronger and let it make you grow. And that's what I did. My lyrics are coming from a place that I want people to relate to and feel that they're not alone.

If people are making fun of you, then you're probably doing something right.

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.

My best friend recently told me that I was the most passionate person she's ever known. I don't know if that was a compliment or an insult, honestly.

People told me I can't dress like a fairy. I say, I'm in a rock band and I cand do whatever the hell I want!
