I like Israel. The fans are incredible. It was the best.
I really do listen to all types of music, not only rock, but everything from good pop music - which is usually older pop music - to RB and indie rock. I love indie rock more than a lot of the commercial stuff that you'd expect.
I want to work with kids. I would love to be a teacher.
The first real concert, other than going with my dad to see Three Dog Night, was Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage. I was fourteen or fifteen. I liked Shirley Manson because she reminded me of Annie Lennox. They both have these deep, sexy, powerful alto voices.
It's true we're all a little insane
You don’t have to be half-naked to be successful. Just be talented.
I've realized that Evanescence is who I am.
I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.
Nobody's perfect. I'm perfectly flawed.
I love sushi. But after too much of it, it just starts to taste like a dead animal that hasn't been cooked.
I love folk; that's a big part of my background.
At the end of any really long tour you need to get your head in order.
I've always been a very passionate, sometimes overly emotional person. Sometimes things affect me more than they should.
I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.
