Success gave me confidence as an artist. And now I'm able to do what I want without anybody thinking it's dumb.
It might not look it but rocking in a corset is harder than you think
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?'
I think it's important to realize that we're all just human. I mean, nobody is supernatural.
If all we ever sang about was how happy we are, we would be lying to ourselves. People try to escape their problems by getting drunk, partying and dancing them away. What really heals me is to sit down and think, face the facts, then you can get over it and be happy
Our interaction with the non-con-going public was limited, which means that while we looked pretty strange, it's nothing out of the ordinary at an anime convention.
I'm the goofball. I'm the person cracking people up.
I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.
I like Israel. The fans are incredible. It was the best.
Writing music is my therapy. It’s very purifying!
I cry alot-I dont know why, but it just helps me. I cry over bad and good stuff-sometimes sadness can be beautiful
We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.
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've realized that Evanescence is who I am.
