That's where I spent of lot of my high-school years-in the closet. It wasn't too cramped, but you do get really hot.
I love my cats more than I love most people. Probably more than is healthy.
Honestly I just wear what I like. You know why? 'Cause I can, I'm a rock star.
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!
A fan once asked if he could have a piece of my hair for voodoo. I said no, so he hugged me and plucked out a couple of hairs and ran off.
I don't want to be Christina Aguilera. I want to be Amy Lee, rock queen - not sex queen.
We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again.
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 only place I'm recognized is at the mall, because that's where the teens are.
L.A. doesn't have any big personality to me; it's not inspiring.
I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is, 'It's going to be OK.' "The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings to you.
Everyone on the bus can laugh at me, and I'll be like, 'Screw you guys: I look good!'
Life can be tough sometimes. But I think it just starts with admitting, 'Okay, the world's not perfect, how do we live our lives within that and not be miserable?'
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.
