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 refuse to accept Pluto's resignation as a planet.
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.
When you're miserable, you don't want anyone around you to be happy.
We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.
I love tiny, plastic realistic food magnets. I don't know why. They're hilarious.
There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.
You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it.
I love the creative process. That's always been the closest thing to my heart, creating something.
I'm not the fastest writer. I can't just crank out ideas that are good enough.
I've gotten to where my hair is like my onstage prop; I need to hide behind it and throw it around - it's my slo-mo effect.
Too bad you can't quote the look on my face.
It might not look it but rocking in a corset is harder than you think
I don't want to ever be a quote-unquote rock star. I want to just be me.
