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

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!

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.

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.

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

There's one thing I believe, is that I don't know anything and anything could happen.
