It's okay to laugh at me, I only look scary.

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

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 was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.

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

You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it.

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